It is with a heavy heart I post that @SorcererHeidi passed away in late January of this year.
Heidi was a long time DIS veteran and a very active daily poster on the Boards. She was a loyal and supportive DIS friend to many and this reflected her life of service. Heidi was a US Navy veteran and retired from a New Jersey police department where she served her community with love like she served her nation. She loved Disney World and enjoyed many visits with her circle of friends over the years. She had made frequent visits to Disney Land when stationed near San Diego and her love for Disney was deep. In the past years, Heidi suffered with serious health issues and she suspected some stemmed from her Navy service work and exposure to chemicals while in service and then working in a dry cleaners decades ago in civilian life. Because of her military and police background, she was involved in her local neighbourhood watch. Heidi lived alone in Ocean County, NJ, in the suburbs, and it is a blessing to know that her friends and neighbours watched over her at the end and she was not alone. Heidi was a loving supporter of the DIS Team and quick to jump to the defence of her people particularly the young members of the Team who worked hard and suffered a few bumps along the way on the Tuesday show. Heidi loved the goodness of the DIS and sharing of helpful information. She had no patience for trolls and had her share of scuffles with baddies on the Boards. She was not afraid of a fight but would kill 'em with kindness if given half a chance. Heidi was a proud Jersey girl, wore her heart on her sleeve, and stood up for what she knew was right and true. If you were good to Heidi, Heidi was good to you. Heidi embodied the best of the DIS community and it's hard to see her go. If you get the chance, go back and read some of her posts. She had a strong light that burned bright. Heidi was much too young to pass so soon. It's the passing of a guard and era here on the Boards. Heidi, thank you for your years of service and years of friendship to so many DIS'rs. God speed and calm crossing my friend.
