Default first mead ....

Just put my first mead in to secondary and boy is she beautiful . It's a black raspberry with clove and orange blossom honey . Wish my camera worked its a nice dark pink ... Is it ok that I heated up some more berries and honey an toped it off with that?

Yup! Unless you heated those berries and honey SO HARD that they're going to raise the temp of the must high enough to kill the yeast. Which would be pretty hard.

don't need to heat up the must to kill off some of the yeast.
just let it cool down to a safe temp before adding it. that will also reduce temp shock.
