Heather was a beautiful person, in every way......she was such a special mom, spouse, daughter, friend and caring professional.....my heart goes out to her loved ones... The Plochocki and Yelding families have been friends of the Canonies' for decades. She touched many lives, and I am blessed to have known her.

I"m so sorry to hear of Heather's passing. She was a very beautiful and loving lady. I had the pleasure of working with her while at South Haven Family Physicians. She loved her work, co workers, and the patients she worked with. My heart felt condolences to her family.

This breaks my heart. My husband Brian worked with Jason and we used to hang out with them. Heather was an amazing mom and I feel sad for Samantha and Collin. Used to love to run into her from time to time and catch up. I had no clue she was sick and wish we had kept in touch. Heather will be missed my many.

Heather was by far one of the kindest, sympathetic, and all around amazing person I have met. She was my nurse for years and always made me feel at ease, comfotable, and put a smile on my face. She was with me when the doctor informed me of my miscarriage and just held me. Didn't say a word, she knew there were not words to say, but held me there for as long as could before she had to get the next patient. But after getting them ready for the doctor, she came back in. She walked me to my car. I will never forget her non judgemental, soothing, and happy personality. I was her patie t, but to me she was more than a nurse she was my angel through many things life dealt me. She was my friend. My gift from God, and my saving grace. I will greatly miss her. My deepest sympathies to the family and especially her children. Take comfort in knowing she is pain free and still with you. 🕯🕆😇

This saddens my heart, Heather and I spent a lot of time car pooling, and studying together in nursing school. We had many laughs and worries during that time. She was a special person. My prayers for her family, at this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of coaching Heather in softball early in my career and was always impressed with her athleticism and quiet leadership. She was talented and humble. I absolutely loved coaching her and her tough competitiveness. Heather was easy to talk to and was always good spirited despite how miserable she felt. I am so saddened this disease won, but I know she fought like crazy: always a fighter, Never a complainer. She has left her mark on many and we extend our sympathies to the family, especially to Collin and Sam. Know your mom was loved by many and loved you most.
