I have so many wonderful memories of Dr. Anderson. She always had this bright smile on her face with her upbeat and joyful voice that always brought me such joy. I will always remember how she would walk into the exam room with her laptop in one hand and she would say; hello Miss. Wolfer with such excitement and a bright smile. Dr. Anderson was my doctor for about 6 years. She has see me at some moments of being in such emotional and physical distress but she was also the first person that I shared so many exciting moments of my life. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you Dr. Anderson. I know you are watching over me and keeping me safe. God bless you..🌹

I only knew Dr Anderson as my doctor for the last few years but was devastated to hear of her passing. She was such a fun and caring individual and I actually looked forward to my visits. I always knew we would have great conversations and laugh over somethings silly I had done in my personal life to end up in need of medical attention. She was truly a wonderful person and I am deeply saddened to hear she passed.

Dr. Anderson wasn't only my doctor for the last five years but my friend. I started going to her when I was 18, and just committed to ECU and she was so excited for me and that's something we always bonded over. She's been with me through my whole college experience whether that was listening all about my friendships, relationships, studies and other activities she was always there to listen and laugh with. I would tell people all the time how close I felt to her because I'd tell them things I'd share to her and they'd always go "you tell your doctor that?" And I'd always respond with "well duh, why wouldn't I?" She was literally like an older sister to me. I just found out about the news today and I am truly heartbroken, I don't think many people can say they enjoyed going to a doctors office but I looked forward to it every year for my physical because of her. She never failed to put a smile on my face and make me feel like I was unstoppable. She was a strong women and is truly someone I will never forget. All my love goes out to her friends and family, she was a remarkable soul and I'm so grateful to have had her with me through these last five years of my life.

Heather was my doctor for the last five years. Just finding out this news absolutely breaks my heart. I cannot express how much she made me smile and honestly how much I enjoyed going to my yearly physical (which most people wouldn't look forward to) because I knew I was going to see her and be able to update her on all my newest life adventures. I am a student at East Carolina University and that is something we really bonded over, she wasn't only my doctor but a friend and someone I loved as a person. My checkups would last up to an hour or more because we'd sit in the room and just talk about life, she was basically an older sister to me. I'm sending an endless amount of love to her friends and family and will never forget the relationship I was able to build and have with her, she will forever be someone so special to me.

I just received the letter from UNC Health notifying me of Dr Anderson's death. I am devastated. When I found Dr. Anderson I was so grateful to finally have a doctor who cared and listened with intelligence and empathy. What a loss to the world.

Dr Anderson was a big inspiration to me over the past few years. I was her patient all throughout medical school and am now myself a family doctor in training. She was always a model of the ideal primary care doctor: personable, empathetic, kind. I hope I can have as positive an impact on my future patients as she had on me.

We are so shocked and extremely saddened to hear of Dr. Anderson's passing. Dr. Anderson was the best! A loving and caring doctor who looked after my mum of 97. Nothing was ever too much. She would always say, "Just call and I will always fit you in!" My mum adored Dr. Anderson. They laughed, shared gifts, and love! As my mum's daughter who always visited Dr. Anderson with mum, nothing was ever too much. Dr. Anderson always listened... and then spoke. We feel incredibly blessed to have known an amazing doctor, a loving person, but saddened that she was taken so early. Thank you, Jesus for our time together. prayers to lift up family, Medicare family and friends.

I just received the letter from UNC Health notifying me of Dr Anderson's death. I am totally floored and had a big ugly cry. She was one of the few doctors I for excited about seeing. She was always so kind, patient and answered my questions. Very often one of us would say something silly that ended in us both doubled over with snort laughter. My broken heart cannot hold a candle to that of her family and close friends. Please accept my deep and sincerest condolences.

Dr. Heather Anderson, has been my doctor for 5 years. She was a wonderful person. Hope to see you in Heaven. You will be missed.

HKA... I met Head Spring 1999. She lived on my floor in Jones Hall at ECU. She always said "hi" to me whenever she saw me, and one day, I asked if she wanted to come out with a bunch of us. She said "yes" and we were inseparable ever since. My Korean sister and soulmate--I always thought we'd have many more years for new adventures, meeting up somewhere around the world new to us! I'm happy we had our last adventure in June! Saranghae, my sister, I hope to see you again one day... ~ AKH P.S. - I called her "Head" because 2 syllables were just too long!

Dear Dr. Heather Kim Anderson, Thank you for being my doctor. I've never been a fan of doc's since a little girl, but your bedside manner was one of such great care, comfort and genuine interest in my health. Your smile was contagious and you always greeted me with it. I felt a sisterhood when seeing you and nurse Pam. You left this earth too soon and will sincerely be missed.

I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR. ANDERSON FOR 10 YEARS. MY LAST APPOINTMENT WAS SEPT. 26th, AND AS USUAL SHE TOOK THE TIME TO ANSWER AND EXPLAIN CONCERNS THAT I HAD. I LOVED AND APPRECIATED HER FOR THAT. SHE WAS ALWAYS PLEASANT, CARING AND CONCERNED. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. I PRAY THAT YOU ALL ARE BLESSED WITH GOD'S GRACE, MERCY AND PEACE

I'm so shocked and saddened by this news. Although I'm just a patient who saw Dr. Anderson once or twice a year, I recognized what a gem she was in medicine. So brilliant, warm, funny, and down-to-earth. Praying for her grieving family and friends.

What I will remember about Heather is her passion for life, sense of humor, and unabashed way she brought forward her personality. She was one of my biggest fans of my running races / training despite not knowing each other well. What I will take away from my experience knowing her is to focus more / support others more and being myself always.

Heather's warmth, genuine care for others, humor, generosity, and unique Heather-ness will be sorely missed. It was mentioned at her service yesterday, and well worth repeating, that the world would be a better place if more people treated others the way she treated people. Sending my thoughts and well wishes to Heather's family.

Very shocked and saddened to learn of Dr. Anderson's passing. Her attentiveness and sincerity blew me away every time I saw her in clinic. I was so very thankful to have found such an awesome physician. She will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to her family.

I have had a difficult time finding the words to confirm my sincere sadness for the loss of Heather Anderson. She has been our family's physician taking wonderful care of both my elderly parents, my husband and myself. As a healthcare professional and ECU alumna myself, I was so impressed with her from the beginning. She always valued my input in our family's care and truly listened. She made going to the doctor a pleasant event. In reading other's comments, I agree with every word written about her. We are all grieving the loss of a true friend and shining star in the medical field. I will miss her infectious smile and lovely personality. Condolences to her family, collegues and anyone fortunate enough to have known her. Linda & Mark Hollamon and Dean Fasolt

No matter what I say about Heather, one word is always missing because she had has allthing. She was friendly, cuddly, helpful, thoughtful and kind. If anyone knows Heather they're so lucky.

I only had the privilege of being Dr. Anderson's patient for a brief period of time, but she was an absolutely amazing provider. She was able to take me on as a new patient in a time of urgent need and provided the best, most personable, and most thorough care someone could have asked for. She was the kind of provider that I, and anyone, would aspire to be. She will be sorely missed. Sincerest condolences, Travis Senor

My husband and I were fortunate to have found Dr. Anderson as our primary care physician. As we have aged, we have called upon her to diagnose, manage or cure the variety of "mysterious" ailments that we have had and she has done so with care and respect peppered with a large dose of humor ... which is exactly what we both needed! I know that I will never find a doctor/friend as remarkable as Dr. Anderson. We send our prayers for her family in this difficult journey.

Like many, I am heartbroken. In all my 74 years there has never been a physician who took care of me as thoroughly and tenaciously as Dr. Anderson. She made time in her day to meet with me and helped me through two harrowing, back to back, medical issues recently and she made me feel a part of my medical team the whole time. She is sorely missed by many. And those who knew her are richly blessed. Ron

Dr. Anderson was the best family doctor I've ever had, and overall my favorite doctor because she cared so much about me and was so fun.. She was a consummate professional, always insisting on calling me Mr. Kozusko. I frequently brought her unusual problems, and she solved every one of them. I shall never be able to replace her, and I'll miss her a lot. My prayers go out to her family, friends and colleagues.

I met Heather in 2003 while I was a student in Greenville, North Carolina. I was there for 6 months on exchange from Germany. Heather immediately took a great interest in me and welcomed me openly into the lab. She cared a lot, helped me to get necessary things. She took me to the movies. She showed me Greenville, her friends and her colleagues. She was very popular and so cheerful! I was thrilled by her warm, open nature. After 20 years we were still in touch, sending each other packages 1-2 a year and I was always very happy that we were still in touch after all these years! James informed me on Monday about this terrible loss and I immediately felt a deep sadness! At the same time I was very happy that I could meet Heather!!! My thoughts are with her family & friends. My condolences. My thoughts will be with you on Sunday! Love from Germany, Kerstin
