We are overcome with saddness with the news of Heather’s passing. Myself and the team at Indie88 had the pleasure of working with Heather for a number of years. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Mundle family.

I have very fond memories of Heather from our college days in Ottawa. She was very bright and creative and had such great taste and a passion for music, design and good food. I’ll never forget our two straight weeks of concerts that one summer and when she joined my family at our cottage for Thanksgiving. I am shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
Rest in Peace, Heather.

Hi Micheal,
I am Heather’s mom. I just saw your post tonight on May 8, 2020. I somehow remember Heather mentioning your name. Did you send her a shirt or necklace way back? She was young and didn’t share much of her private life with us. Did you date her back in the summer of 2008 when she was 19?
I can only tell you that losing her has been so catastrophic. She was our only child and the last 19 months have been very hard. We miss her everyday and only hope we can live life the way she would have wanted us to. My email is margomundle@comcast.net
Please drop me a note and tell me about yourself. Margo
