Heather Henderson Died September 27, 2000 Heather was a wonderful Deputy Director of the organization "Dads and Daughters" In order that some slight measure of redemption might come from this tragedy, Heather's family wants her friends and colleagues to know that her death appears to be the result of complications from bulimia, with which Heather struggled for many years. Bulimia finally took too much of a toll on her body, even as she was rededicating herself to recovery. For many, the horrifying statistics about eating disorders are merely that - numbing statistics. But for every statistic, there is a daughter struggling to live, and not always succeeding. This is one of the reasons DADs exists. visit the DADs Website To the loving memory of a passionate, adventurous, dedicated woman! Heather you are beautiful and your message to promote diversity and acceptance will live on. Thank you for blessing so many with your amazing spirit! Peace and love to you...

My Best Mate I light this candle for you and for those you have left behind. You only told me of this demon that haunted your every night and day just a few weeks ago-by then it was too late. I pray that in heaven you can love yourself as much as I love you. I know you'll be looking out for me *blows a kiss* I miss you and love you.

Leslie My friend and roommate at Renfrew. You were too sweet and too young to die. I am so saddened that you lost the battle. I will forever remember your smile behind those big sad brown eyes.
