Brian, Sean & Family, I had the honor of meeting Heather only once as she was guest speaker at a Charity Event last July. She spoke with a gentle yet determined conviction to share her story and educate others on Cystic Fybrosis. What an amazing young lady taken from us too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

There’s different images that come to mind when I think of Heather and remember her spirit: a Hummingbird in flight, a Hollyhock in full bloom, a Dolphin leaping through rolling waves. She just always had that kind of natural grace and ease about her. Meeting her and working with her as a student, I never knew until much later the kinds of challenges that she lived with on a daily basis, year-in-year-out (and even so, they never came out with anything even remotely whispering complaint or resentment). I will always remember how Heather lived very intentionally despite and amidst her adversity. As for smarts, she was in the top 5% of students in terms of academic ability at the undergraduate level, and I never lost an opportunity to encourage her to continue with her dreams for graduate studies. Her struggle was deep, our loss is deeper, and her resilient, joyful, intelligent, determined spirit will be remembered. My sincere condolences to Sean and the MacInnis Family.
respectfully, Derek Simon

My condolences to the MacInnis family and to Sean.
I had the privilege of hearing Heather speak at our Kin Canada District convention last summer in PEI. Her message was simple and to the point, and so awe-inspiring. It brought tears to eyes, and purpose to the service dollars that we collect for causes, such as Cystic Fibrosis.
She was an inspiration to us all that evening, and I truly feel fortunate to have had a chance to meet her.

I never meant Heather in person but am well acquainted with her spirit. I am a friend of Cathy LeBlanc, Sara's mum, and she introduced us to "penniesforheather". I have followed the postings throughout Heather's stay in the hospital and her was aware of the warrior she was waiting for that transplant. In this way I was introduced to her spirit. As I said on Facebook last evening, Heather's spirit moved people from across this country to give , not only money, but also their love even though she was a stranger to them. Her strong thirst for life touched their hearts in such a personal way. She became a gift to all those who were pulling for her. My sincere condolences to Heather's family, fiance and friends. May she rest in God's love.

Yesterday i was making guacamole and i thought of you saying to michelle at the big birthday bash how much you loved the stuff, then i seen a few hours later you had passed on to the other side. It's sad to see such a beautiful strong person leaving this earth at such an early time in her life. I know i didn't know her well but what i did know was how great of a spirit she had, always carrying that amazing smile and great personality. May you fly with the angels and forever breath easy :o)
