    My condolences to Heathers family, I used to care for the Great Gemini, her border collie and was always impressed on how much Heather cared for her pets. We spoke of her son the chef and our common interest in food and her dedication to family but somewhere along the line we lost contact and I always felt sad of that. I would see her walking with Jo and Goose, so kept track of how she was doing. Hopefully she has found peace and her life energy has returned to be in the presence of all the pets and people that have gone before her! Dr John Earle
