I saw her beautiful face on the obit. page of the London Free Press. I read on and was brought to tears at the thought of this enormous loss. I can think of nothing to say, to offer, to comfort your family. I will pray for you all to be okay through your grief.
Shalom.
I went to public school, and high school with Heather. She was a very kindhearted person. My most sincere condolences on the loss of Heather, Maya, and Lauren Mitton. May you find peace with time.

We haven’t seen Heather since she was a little girl, over at Bonnie’s house in Ingersoll. Your loss touches us deeply, and our thoughts and sympathies are with you.
Best wishes to you both, Kristin, and the entire family.
Lynda, Gary, Kristin and family:

It is with shock and saddness that we send you our deepest condolences.
Heather looked radiant when we saw her 3 weeks ago.
This is such a tragedy.
Please know that we are here for you.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you each.
Kristin
Words are difficult at this time. You know how we feel. You’re like one of our own. Our thoughts are with you.
Love you!

I was Heather’s Science teacher in high school. I was in B.C. when I received this tragic news or I would have personally delivered my condolence.
It was just a few weeks ago when I last spoke to Heather and shared in her excitement regarding her upcoming due date. I have 3 children of my own and words cannot express the deep sandness I feel at this time.
Her genuine and infectious smile made a huge difference to me and to my classes in high school. She was always supportive and positive. I could always count on her to make me smile or laugh. We often chatted during lunch or before classes. She made a difference in my class and affected me personally. I will miss her.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time, so sorry for your loss, absolutely heart breaking to read the obituary,so very sad.
Gary,Linda and Kristin
We are so sorry to hear about your losses. Our hearts and thoughts are with you.
Linda and family,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I worked with you for a number of years in the office at Lawson Mardon. When I read this notice in the Free Press, I was so shocked and saddened at your loss. I remember when you were pregnant with Heather and as a little girl, and how precious your children were to you and Gary. You were so proud of your family and I am sure she grew up to be a lovely young woman. Words cannot possibly express how sorry I am to hear of your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family at this time.
Sincerely,
Heather Price
We would like to send our deepest condolences to your family. I haven’t had the honour of knowing Heather but do know her grandmother Maggie. I can only imagine how devastating this must be for all of you. May Heather and her two angels rest in peace. They will be with you always.
From Nicol, her family and the Staff at Golfland
I was saddened that I could not be with Heather’s family and friends on monday. I was unreachable by phone and have just heard. I cried tears of joy for having been lucky enough to have had Heather touch my life, and tears of sadness for not having the opportunity to meet Maya and Lauren. To the Mitton and Charbonneau families- my thoughts are with you, I send love and strength. Keep these 3 beautiful women close to your hearts. They watch over you all.
I went to culinary school with Heather. Throughout those 2 years at Fanshawe we shared many laughs, some tears and numerous meals together. She was a great friend during those years and I remember that time fondly. I always admired her positive approach to life. I am so sad to hear about her passing with her twin girls. My heart goes out to you. I hope you find strength to continue on. After all, Heather would want us to remember her in happier times.
God bless you.
Gary, Linda and Kristin
I was at a loss for words when I was informed this morning of what had happened…My thoughts went to our own daughter, Stephanie who has yet to become a wife & mother. Such a terrible & tragic loss for you all. Heather was a beautiful little girl and had grown into a lovely woman. A wife and mother of two precious baby girls…may they rest in peace. We are so very sorry. Linda, I remembered our conversations we had had over the years of our children, their up’s & down’s, acomplishments and any old thing going on at the time. As I sit here writing this trying to fend off the tears…praying God,family and friends will give you all the strength and courage you need to get through to help ease your pain and sorrow. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the Mitton and Charbonneau families. If I had known…I would have come to you if only to give you a hug and a heartfelt message…There’s healing in a hug…Give them and take them often…
Your friend,
Mary Jeanne

We do not get the paper but my brother takes his to her after he reads it within a few days.I still remember Heather when she was around 6-7 years old.May Heather, Maya and Lauren rest in peace.May you, Linda and Kristin also have some peace too.
Denise from high school.
To the Charbonneau and Mitton Families: I’m so sorry for your losses. My heart just sank when I heard about such young lives taken away from all of you far too soon.
Mere words cannot adequately express my condolences.
Always in my heart, Irene

I just found out about the passing of Heather, Maya and Lauren. I did not know Heather personally, I just knew of her through her Dad. Gary spoke such kind words about Heather that I can’t help but feel like I missed knowing an amazing person. I hope that both the Mitton and Charbonneau families find peace in their hearts knowing that they have 3 beautiful Angels watching over them from Heaven.
God bless,
