Sam,
So sorry for your loss x
Sending my condolences to you all. Heather was such a lovely lady. When I worked in Morrisons and Heather came in we would always have a quick catch up on how our families were doing and it was so nice to keep up this way with everything that they were doing. ❤️
With deepest sympathy on the loss of your lovely Mum, Heather. Love from Mo
Heather
what can I say such a lovely lady on the brief occasions that we met she was always the source of great laughter with her zany ways
Occasion that I was introduced by her daughter as ‘Buzz’ that seems to stick even on the occasion of being asked quite blatantly in the pub when Sammi and Buzz will get married Lol
Heather was a tremendous mother, grandmother and an all together lovely lady that will be missed by so many
RIP Heather
Love
‘Buzz’
I spent a lot of time at your house during secondary school, your mom always made me feel so welcome, and would always feed me. I think she was the calmest person I knew, I don’t think I ever heard her raise her voice, ever, and boy we must of driven her to distraction!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you, may she rest in peace ❤️
Happy memories of misbehaving on choir tours and at concerts! Will miss your company Heather. Caroline x
Heather, you will be sorely missed by all your Wessex friends. We will also miss you at our “pub lunches”. I wish I could tell you that I’ve finally forgiven you for the fine you gave me in Krakov! So cruel, but a fair cop! All our love Ken and Helen.
I was so saddened to hear that “our” lovely friend, and loyal supporter of Wessex Male Choir, had passed away so unexpectedly. Heather will be sorely missed by “HER BOYS”, but obviously not as much as her devoted husband, Norman, and the wonderful family, that she loved so much. Heather enjoyed supporting “HER BOYS” ( Wessex Male Choir), in concerts both “home” and “away”, and particularly loved touring with “her boys” in Poland in 2019. She and Norman both loved the choir “After-glows”, so I include this poem in my personal tribute to a lovely lady:
“After-Glow”
“I`d like the memory of me to be a happy one!
I`d like to leave an “after-glow” of smiles when life is done!
I`d like to leave an echo, whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times–and laughing times–and bright and sunny days!
I`d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun—-
And happy memories that I leave behind, when my day is done!!”
God bless you, Heather! With much love, Mike Barrett xx
So sad to hear Heather is no longer with us. She always had a fun outlook on life when she was with us at the choir events and mixed in despite her mobility issues in the last few years.
REMEMBER –
We never lose the people we love, they drift through every waking thought and will remain in our dreams.
Be thankful for the times you’ve had and treasure the family that you still love and love you.
Another larger than life character lost to us. Your humour and endless smiling face will be so missed by us all.
Heather was always a smiling face when around her “Wessex Boys” especially when on tour in Italy and Poland. She will be sorely missed and we both have very fond memories of her. We both forgive her for being the tour judge and fining us for our ” alleged” wrong doings. Chris and Ian.
Heather was a lovely lady with a unique sense of humour.I shall miss seeing her at concerts and her friendship at concert afterglow s and her cheerfulness on choir tours.
Sending my sincere condolences to all Heather’s family. She was such a special lady. I remember fondly spending a few days on Norman and Heather’s front drive, fitting out the newly acquired choir trailer. I was ably assisted by Rob Warren and Norman, and Heather of course (whose peace had been shattered for several days in a row) providing cups of tea, sandwiches, endless encouragement and fun. Happy days.
Heather was the kind of person you just want to give a big Cuddle too. Always had a smile & ready for a chat or a joke, especially when she is with all the Choir Wives having a coffee etc. Also she has been on all the trips starting with Valencia to support Norman & the choir in all they do, & also have a great time with us all. We will all miss her company so much. One funny incident in Valencia, a group of us all starving one evening, went into a Spanish restaurant quite late, Norman & Heather ordered Lamb Chops, we all got what we wanted, Pizzas etc, their’s turned up with a plate of lamb chops each, not one vegetable or any gravy & they ate the lot, no complaints, too hungry. Well RIP until we meet again lovely lady. Love Jeff & Joan xx ❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss. Will treasure many happy memories of Heather’s humour and joy at a good double entendre with her boys. A sad loss to the world as light of pure joy has gone out. Love and deepest sympathy to all the family
Heather
We’ll always remember your smile and that glint in your eye. You’ll be sorely missed – not just by Norman and your family but all choristers and friends of Wessex Male Choir. Love
We send our heartfelt condolences to Norman and his family. Heather was a lovely, kind lady with such a wonderful sense of humour. The Wessex choristers and their wives, have shared many happy times with Heather. We will all miss her very much
Heather, we used to chuckle a lot. I will miss your impish humour and your cheeky smile. I already do! Travel well beyond the stars.
“There, she is gone!”
“Gone where?”
Gone from my sight. That is all.
And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, “There, she is gone!”
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout;
“Here she comes!”
And that is dying.
To sam and family, thinking of you all at this sad time RIP Heather xx
Forever in my memory, as an amazing woman, mother and grandmother to one of my closest friends. I’m so sorry for your families loss
We were lucky enough to have Heather as a neighbour and our dear friend. She was so kind and caring always offering to help us in anyway she could.
I loved our chats and will miss them so very much.
Sending you Norman , Sam, Dani and Mason all our love at this extremely difficult time x
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time
We are thinking of you Norman and family , at such a difficult sad time . Heather was a lovely lady , always supportive of the choir. Our memory of her in position of judge in Krakow was such fun ,some of us a lot poorer by the end of the evening , the choir funds richer.
With fond memories of chatting with Heather on choir tours. Her infectious smile and cheeky giggle would raise my spirits. She was a friend to all and will be greatly missed. God bless.
Heather was like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day: she brightened our lives with her spirit, sense of fun and love of life. The world is a darker place without her. Our deepest sympathy to Norman and family.
