John and Family, I just heard of your mom's passing. My mom, Sarah (Doyle) Hefler, went to high school with your mom. She's not in the e-mail world, so I pass her condolences on to you and your family and add my own.

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your mom. What I remember most about her is whenever I was at your house she was always smiling and always made me feel welcome. I'm sure she's still smiling up in heaven.

Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. There is no other loss than that of your Mom but having the love and support of friends and family will hopefully make the hurt a bit less.
