To say that Heather was a special lady, immediately shows one’s inability to find words. She
was of course more than special, because her life was lived in, through and by the love and
power of the Lord for nearly 100 years. Her godly influence on the lives of family, friends,
acquaintances and also far flung missionaries can never be documented. All is written in
God’s Book. Let’s try to imagine how it is for her now in the heaven which no eye has seen,
nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, that which God has prepared for all
who love Him. Apologies from Wendy and myself. This very day we have bookings to fly to
Queensland for a visit to family. God bless all Heather’s family, with the same Spirit He
poured out on her superabundantly. With our love, greatly inspired by our sister’s life.

May 31, 2024 at 9:15 amHeather’s smile could light up the room. A beautiful woman of God who will be missed greatly by many.
Thank you Heather for being such a faithful servant in your role of Special Religious Instructor from 1952 – 1999 and when you were unable to continue in that role we give thanks for your commitment in seeing others encouraged in the ministry, as a donor.
I have no doubt the echo of your impact on the students that you had the privilege of interacting with, will continue beyond the here and now.
May you travel into this next part of your journey with confidence that God has prepared a place for you and will be welcoming you home as a good and faithful servant – you have served HIM well.
To Heather’s precious family, thank you for sharing Heather with us. May God be present at this time and may you draw strength, comfort and peace knowing that Heather is at last free from the limitations of this earthly life and in the loving arms of her heavenly Father.
Heather’s legacy lives on, in each of you, so may the wonderful memories you have sustain you.
Yours in Christ
Blessings
Dawn Penney – CEO of Korus Connect and the Korus Connect team.

June 4, 2024 at 12:57 pmThinking of you today as you lay your much loved and respected, Heather, to rest in peace in the home that our Lord has prepared for her. After a long life it was her time to leave you all. I know you will all be thankful but there will be an empty space in your hearts. Sincere condolences.
