To Heller Family,
  This is so difficult to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with all your families.
  Memories are so wonderful. They make you laugh, cry and love her all the more. And every day you will think of something you want to ask her about recipes or tell her about friends. That is the hardest part. ( My mom thought so much of her.)
  Jo was a beautiful, caring woman with an angelic  voice. I am sure she is in GOD's choir.

What a comfort to know she's at peace at home with the Lord.  I never had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Heller, but can appreciate what a wonderful woman she was just by having a dear friend in her daughter Nancy - and I have the promise and blessing of knowing I'll meet Nancy's mother one glorious day!
