Heather Cramer Reu, 42

Glenn Horton, via Leigh Rappaport, passes along this sad news (below). I didn't know Heather. If you did and want to comment or contact her family, please by all means do.

The daughter of a former Delong, Ill. couple died June 22 when a car hit the bicycle she was riding here. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Heather Cramer Reu, 42, was reportedly hit by a car driven by Daniel Gomez, 40. He was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. Heather is the daughter of Ray and Molly Cramer. Heather Cramer Reu and her husband Phil have 4 children - their ages are 7,5,4,3. Their home is in Albuquerque.

Heather worked Environmental Education at FV in the late 80s and/or early 90s. Kenis Sweet recently sent around this note:

Heather Cramer was killed last month while biking near her home in New Mexico. Heather was with FV's Environmental Ed and Adventure Camp program in the late 1980's. She came to the FV family from Bloomington, Indiana. I was emailed the news from FV friend Tim Swenson. I, as many others will also, remember Heather as an incredibly fun, vibrant, and wonderful young lady. After reading her obituary, I am not at all surprised at the loving and full life she led. Our prayers are with her husband, parents, and kids.
