We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
Heidi was a genuinely kind person. I always looked forward to the days that we worked together. She always had the best advice and knew just how to make you laugh when you were feeling down. She always talked about her family and her love for them. I’m so sorry for this tremendous loss. Her beautiful soul will live on through her family and friends and the memories she gave us all. <3 Jenise
Prayers to Larry, kids, grandson, Rosie and the rest of Heidi’s loved ones. This is 1 woman I can say will truly be missed by all that had a chance to meet her. I enjoyed our car pooling days when we both worked in Cedar Rapids and enjoyed seeing her excitement and the progress on her and Larry’s 1st home in Stanwood. She always had a smile and willingness to help others even if she was having a rough day.
I remember pending the night at Heidi’s house in school. We were the best of friends. I think of you often and wish we had talked more. I love you Heidi forever. Angie Hebel
