Bio
Jennifer Thomas
Describing Heather is like going through a thesaurus entry for 'lovely'. She is genuine, thoughtful, loyal, intelligent and kind, with a delightfully quirky sense of fun. I've never heard Heather say anything mean, which is quite an achievement as I've known her for over 50 years. The world needs more Heathers!
