HERON - It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic death of Audra Lynn (Peters) Heron on June 4, 2010, in Assiniboia, SK. Audra was born November 3, 1969, in Regina, SK. She was always a very happy child, rarely found without a smile or mischievous grin on her face. Her early years were spent in Penticton, BC, before moving with her family to Gull Lake, SK, in 1974. Skating and track and field were just a couple of her passions while growing up in Gull Lake. In 1987, she moved to Swift Current, SK, and then to Saskatoon, SK, with her future husband, who was training to become a SAAN store manager. In 1990, she married Marty Heron and they ventured throughout Western Canada with Marty's postings with the SAAN store, living in Delta, BC; Cochrane, Calgary, Whitecourt and Westlock, AB; Yellowknife, NWT, and finally Melfort, SK. She had many life experiences and met a lot of good friends along the way. In 2003, Audra, Jenna and Tyanna moved to Medicine Hat, AB, and after a short time in Major, SK, Audra and Tyanna moved to Assiniboia in 2009. Audra will be lovingly remembered for her infectious laugh, her amazing cooking skills, her willingness to help out, her friendly personality and entertaining nature. Audra is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Trista and Christen Rose; grandson Maddox Rose; daughters Jenna and Tyanna Heron, all of Calgary, AB; parents Allan and Sheila Peters of Gull Lake, SK; brother and sister-in-law Shawn and Kim Peters and nephews Stephen and Justin Peters of Emerald Park, Sask.; grandmother Patricia Drury; and great-aunt Doreen Drury of Maple Creek, SK; and former husband Marty Heron of Calgary, AB. A celebration of Audra's life was held in the Elks Hall in Gull Lake, SK, on Thursday, June 10, 2010, with Father Dick Kennedy of Maple Creek, SK. officiating. A private family interment took place in the Gull Lake Cemetery. To email an expression of sympathy you may visit www.gonebutnotforgotten.ca.

It's time to say
goodbye today
My heart is filled with such sorrow.
I'll never be able to express how much you meant to me,
For there is no tomorrow.
All the things I wish I'd done and said
I regret it everyday,
Laying awake with thoughts dancing through my head.
And now you're up in heaven, our star
up above.
You'll find your true
happiness somehow
Forever you will
feel loved.
Mom, this is goodbye, not forever, just for now.
