In Memoriam

Heidi passed away suddenly on 11 August 2012, a loss that can’t be summed up in words.

Farewell, doll.

For anyone wishing to make a donation in lieu of flowers, Heidi’s family has nominated the charity Zimbabwe’s Children (part of the True Vision Foundation), dedicated to the education of Zimbabwe’s forgotten children. Heidi had a hand in establishing the charity, alongside her daughter-in-law Nicky Wimble.
