We were so saddened to hear of your loss. But take comfort in the knowledge that there is afterlife and a wonderful provider, His name is Jesus. She is in the best of care, with no suffering, no pain or heartache. You shall be together again, trust in that. Your great memories of her will keep her legacy alive. Smile when you think of her, and laugh when you know she would laugh. We did not know her but she must have been wonderful. Thinking of all the Heitmans and other relatives in our prayers.
