Nazar, Heather Passed away peacefully at the Toronto General Hospital on Tuesday April 21, 2009. Heather Anne Nazar (nee Coolen) , aged 54 years, leaves grieving but celebrating her life, her daughter Sarah and her son Bradley. Loving wife of Lawrence Lighter. Loved daughter of May Gillam Cooper and the late Richard Coolen and her late stepfather Herbert Cooper. Dear sister of Peter (Karyn), Sandi (Jim MacDonald), Christopher, Douglas (Karen), and Gregory. Loved aunt of Lauren, Lindsay, Ryan, Chelsey and Michaela. Predeceased by her brother David Coolen. Lovingly remembered by her aunts, uncles and cousins in Nova Scotia. Fondly remembered by John Nazar. Heather showed the same courage and grace she epitomized, after her lengthy battle with illness beginning in 1992 with a bone marrow transplant, followed by a lung transplant in 2007. She enjoyed running, cycling, kayaking, and visiting her family and friends down East in Nova Scotia. She could never have been prouder of her children, and her children could not have been prouder of her. Friends may call at the Patrick J.
