Is this the venue?  There's nothing scheduled for her on Dec. 13th which is the date mentioned in the Facebook post.

Tentative R.I.P. (but I'm hoping that's premature)

 

it is. And I haven’t found anything else that would also confirm her death. My apologies if this is off topic or out of line.  This all just seems shocking to me and out of nowhere.

I hope this is just a misunderstanding but if true I'm saddened.

I've enjoyed her comments and wit.

I will miss her. I've been here a long time, and every contribution from her was enjoyable.

Weird thing is I can't bring that up - I can see her Facebook but I'm not a 'friend' so perhaps that's why. 

[Maison Rustique]

How terribly sad. I feel like she just posted in a recent thread, but it has probably been longer than I thought. Maybe in the Christmas prep thread? I can't imagine not seeing her posts everytime I visit eG. RIP heidih and thank you for your part in making eG a fun and helpful community.

I saved this screen cap yesterday when someone said the post was no longer there.  

 

 

I still see it on her Facebook page.

This is so sad.  I remember her talking about her son Matt, so I am pretty sure it's real.  She had so much to deal with near the end of her life - from issues with her aged father and his wife to son's medical problems as well as her own.  I will miss her interactions - she always had something interesting to say and I will personally miss discussing plants and gardening with her of which she was passionate and very experienced.

[gfron1]

This is all very unfortunate how the fact checking is playing out, but regardless, Heidi has always been such a supportive eG friend, and was always a boost of confidence and joy for me back in the early days. I sure have missed our interactions here in the forum.

RIP heidih - I'll mis your comments.

[weinoo]

Sad news - RIP.

[Darienne]

I can't believe this.  She was so good to me on eG from Day one.  I'm just home one hour so I missed the last week of posts.  Heidi and I 'talked'  on messenger so many times and we go back so far, from when I first joined.  Sorry.  I'm not making any sense.  But I am devastated.  Dear dear Heidi.  

[Smithy]

I'm still reeling. It's so very difficult to believe, and terribly unjust, given her family circumstances. She was my window into the L.A. food scene, and we had similar reminiscences about food trends. RIP, Heidi.

[Margaret Pilgrim]

This is devastating news.   I wish I had taken time to tell her how much I appreciated her input.   Very hard for me to digest much less accept.  
 

[ElsieD]

I'm so sad, I will miss her very much.  Does anyone have a link to an obituary?  I would like to leave a message for her family.   RIP, Heidi.

Terrible news.  I was hoping it was a case of Mark Twain type great exaggeration.   Since that doesn't appear to be the case, I guess I need to accept the sad news.  She was a pillar of this place and will be greatly missed.  Extra sad that her father outlived her.

[JeanneCake]

💔

I don't want this news to be true.

 

I'm going to miss her. A lot. 😢

[Porthos]

RIP Heidi. You will be missed. 

[Smithy]

Heidi hosted and oversaw the eG Foodblogs for years when she was a host. She also took a turn at the wheel. In case you've never read it, or would like to reread it, here it is.

 

 

[Jacksoup]

Surprising, sad loss.  Always enjoyed her take on everything..RIP

[Mjx]

This is something of a shock. She was part of the hosting team when I first began, and she was always ready to help, and to respond to my endless questions. We kept touch after she stepped down from being a host, but this was often sporadic, and it had been a while since I'd hear from her. I'll miss her.

Thank you for posting this link.  I just read the whole blog.  She wrote a great one, I could almost taste and smell the produce.

[SLB]

Oh, God.  I'm reeling too.  

[Dejah]

This was another shock for me. Always enjoyed Heidi's posts. R.I.P Heidi

[Wolf]

This is terrible and very sad news- not only because she was respected any very helpful member whose posts I liked to read but we shared a connection, even accross the Big Pond, that we talked about (I knew her cousin who was assisstant professor at my University). She will be sorely missed. Rest in peace (laka ti zemljica).
