“Statement from the family of Heidi (Annie) and Mike Winchester:

We appreciate all the support we have received in the last few days.  We ask that you please respect our privacy while we mourn the death of Heidi and focus on supporting each other and our extended family.  We will not be accepting any requests from the media for statements or interviews.  Please allow us the time and space to heal and move forward.

A private family service will be scheduled for Heidi.  A fund has been established to support Heidi and Mike’s sons, Michael Jr. and Blake.  Donations may be made at //gofundme.com/supportMichaelandBlake.”
