›A Remarkable Woman‹

Abstract

Stereotypes about people with Ds abound, even today. They are characterized as simple folk, good natured and loving. At Heidi’s celebration of life service, her caretakers spoke of her golden smiles and warm hugs. Without doubt, she gave those in abundance. Her smile could light up a room. Her joyful welcome could make you feel like you were the most spectacular human in all creation. I concurred with those tributes.
