Heather Kirchgessner

August 15, 2010 By Haskett Funeral Homes 20 Condolences

Heather Kirchgessner

Suddenly, but peacefully in the arms of her loving advocate Marlene Moore and her case worker Cynthia, Heather went quietly with her angels to heavenly peace to be with her Creator, Our Lord and God. She will be sadly missed, but her big smile and joyous laughter will always be in the hearts of those who supported and loved her. The Moore, Van Roestel and Overholt families, her housemates Nicole, Heather Jean, Chris and Tammy and all the caring staff, past and present at Huron Residence.

Friends may call at the Haskett Funeral Home, 370 William Street, 1 west of Main, Exeter on Tuesday from 10:00 – 10:45 AM. The Funeral Mass will be held at Precious Blood Church, 200 Sanders Street West, Exeter on Tuesday, August 17th at 11 AM with Father Len Desjardins presiding. Interment Exeter Cemetery.

Donations to Anago Resources (40312 Huron Street, Exeter ON N0M 1S5) would be appreciated.

    Awwww Heather you are going to be missed. I’ll always remember your bright smile and belly laugh. We shared a lot of years together and I will cherish the memories. From the nights we rocked the house with our air guitar broom sticks to the endless hours of playing Yatzhee, you could always get me laughing once you got started. I will hold you in a special place… always. You were loved by many.
