My condolences to the Family for the tragic loss of Heidi. As the senior administrative officer of our Department,I had the pleasure of working with Heidi when she was working in the Research Administration section of the Department of Medicine. She was known for her even disposition and ability to work well under the constant pressure of grant application deadlines. Her knowledge of the grant funding process was widely known and respected. Consequently she was often consulted on difficult issues.There was comfort knowing that Heidi was on our team. She was missed when she moved to the VA but we were happy that she stayed within the research family of the medical center campus. This stunning loss is a shock to us all.

As a fellow VA employee, I met Heidi on the shuttle bus on the way to and from work. I only had 1 or 2 conversations with her and saw her in passing on the bus. I want to express my sadness that I feel for your loss. I only knew a little about her and did not even know her last name but we had a nice conversation on the bus about who we are and what we do. You are in my thoughts at this time and I cannot express the sadness I feel for your sudden loss.

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news about Heidi. She was a wonderful person and friend who I had the pleasure to work with for a number of years. Heidi was always quick with a kind or comforting word and I remember that she would always take the time to ask me how my family was doing. She will be greatly missed by me and many others on campus.

May God bless your family during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Heidi made my challenging freshmen year at Concordia a lot more bearable with her friendship and humor, and we had a lot of good times throughout high school. I loved when she invited me to join her family's activities. You all were so much fun! My deepest sympathies on losing your sister and daughter.

I feel priviledged to know Heidi through work at IU and the VA in various research activities. Her gentle, kind, and suportive ways will not soon be forgotten. I just learned about her interests in reflexology and was amazed at the depth of her caring. She represented the best in all of us.

My sympathies to Heidi's family and friends. I knew Heidi during our highschool years, each of us trying to find our path through school and life. Then slowly lost touch during college. But I do remember the fun times we had at highschool football and basketball games. I always wondered what she had finally done with her education and where she ended up living. The information from the other's who wrote in her obituary explained a lot of my questions. Sincerely, Diane Graft

I worked with Heidi in the VA research program and had known her for several years, including when she worked at Indiana University. Heidi was a role model in many regards, offering her continual insights, key suggestions, kindness, and respect. She was valued, trusted, highly regarded, well liked, and effective in her work. She always looked out for the interests of our center. We miss her already!

I had the great privilege to know and work with Heidi over the past two years in the VA Stroke Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI). Heidi was instrumental in coordinating this national program that aims to improve stroke care for all veterans, using her outstanding organizational and creative skills to coordinate our many activities. She was the point of contact not only for MDs and PhDs in Indianapolis but for many across the nation who work with us on QUERI research projets. Not only did she do a fantastic job of managing our resources but she excelled in the role of helping us communicate our vision to others. She truly seemed excited by the missional aspect of the VA and was known and respected by many people across the country. Within our local community Heidi was also known as someone who could be counted on for her expertise, her ability to master new things quickly, her gentle spirit, and her professionalism. She embodied the adage of "treat others they way you would want to be treated." She was a valuable colleague and a friend, and though we will miss her she will live on in our memory and in the work that we do. Our thoughts and prayers are with her mom, sisters, and family.
