Hi, I wonder if someone here knows about Heather Sherman.

She used to be a great aircraft repainter (specially in FS2002 and FS2004 times) and a lovely person.

Last news I heard about her (long ago) was that she was affording serious health problems, and I've been concerned since.

I'd much appreciate any info about Heather.

Thanks in advance, best regards.

I'll give her email a try to see if I get any response.!

Email's a dead end!

Written by “Rich” in another forum. Just reposting because I know Heather had many friends and admirers. Fair winds, Heather. You will be greatly missed.

It is with a heavy heart that I need to inform everyone that my dear friend, Heather, a dedicated and adventurous soul, passed away, leaving a legacy of courage, passion, and a zest for life. Born on October 5, 1955, she lived a life that was both remarkable and inspiring.

Heather served her country with honor and dedication, spending four years in the United States Marine Corps and an additional eight years in the Army. Her commitment to protecting and serving others was evident throughout her military career, where she displayed unwavering strength and resilience.

Following her military service, Heather pursued her passion for aviation and became a flight instructor. She shared her knowledge and love for flying with others, helping them take to the skies and experience the freedom and exhilaration of flight. Her students fondly remember her as a patient and skilled instructor who instilled in them a deep respect for the art of flying.

Heather's greatest joy in life was her daughter Victoria, whom she loved unconditionally. As a mother, she provided guidance, support, and boundless love to her daughter, creating a strong bond that will forever be cherished.

Adventure ran through Heather's veins as she fearlessly embraced activities such as skydiving, scuba diving, and hiking. She sought the thrill of exploring new heights and depths, finding solace and awe in nature's wonders. The desert held a special place in her heart, and she found solace in its rugged beauty.

In her leisure time, Heather immersed herself here with the rest of us within FSEconomy, and she also enjoyed playing W@W (Wolves at War), a U-boat simulation game. Her love for these games shone through as she engaged in epic battles online, forging friendships and alliances with fellow enthusiasts.

Heather had an unmatched sense of humor and mischievous wit, earning her the reputation of being a professional smart-word not allowed. Her quick comebacks and playful banter brought laughter and joy to those fortunate enough to know her. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she delighted in creating elaborate costumes and embracing the spirit of the season.

Heather's love for animals was boundless, and she cherished the companionship of her furry friends. She demonstrated unwavering loyalty to those she loved, both human and animal alike, always offering a listening ear and a comforting presence.

Heather's passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew her. Her indomitable spirit, sense of adventure, and dedication to her loved ones will forever be remembered. As we say our final goodbyes, let us celebrate Heather's life and the remarkable impact she made on those fortunate enough to have crossed her path.

Heather is survived by her beloved daughter Victoria, family members, and countless friends who will carry her memory in their hearts. May she rest in eternal peace, knowing that her legacy will continue to inspire others to live life to the fullest.

Thanks for sharing. So sad that our developers from the 'old day' are fading fast. FS2004 is 20 years old now & still used by many of us.

We've also lost many sites as well. Heather will be missed.
