I had a cup of tea at dinner last night....always think of you when I have it. Hard to believe almost a month has passed. Thank you for the smells you have sent. It warms my heart.

My Mom was the most loving, giving sharing, kind person I have or ever will know. She set an excellent example for all who knew her especially me. I will never attain the level of goodness she did but I will try. I love you Mama

When I was growing up most kids went to Disney, I got to go see Aunt Agnes and Uncle Billy. Disney had nothing on them ! She was such a special part of my childhood, so many great memories, I think of her with every cup of hot tea I drink. We were all blessed to have had her in our lives.

I join in your sorrow for such a wonderful woman who touched so many lives in my family. The 80 year friendship our mothers shared led to many memories and to three generations of Godchildren. She
was a true example of Christianity and even more so as a Godmother. I will cherish the stories about the turtle that ate fudge, playing paper dolls, and the frilly dresses left for my mom to iron. And we can't forget Memorial Days at the cabin. I enjoyed the chats on the phone when I answered at rosary time. I am truly blessed that God placed Agnes in my and my family's lives. Thoughts and prayers to all of you as you mourn the loss yet celebrate the life of Agnes.

I was 19 when I first met Agnes. She became a roll model and mentor for me. From her I learned what it meant to be a loving mom. And later, she showed me what a truely amazing Grandmother should be. It meant so much to me to become a part of this family.

So grateful for Aunt Agnes! I have so many wonderful memories with her, Uncle Billy and the whole family!! Chocolate Oatmeal cookies, the pool, many family road trips and just sitting around the dining room table talking. She was like a Grandmother to me, so thankful for all the wonderful memories!! Love to you all!

From her 89th to her 90th birthday, I'm lucky to have been able to spend so much time with Grandmother and have Suzannah get to know her GREAT Grandmother.

Aunt Agnes was always a loving person and although miles kept us apart, everytime we were able to visit she made us feel like we had just been there yesterday and welcomed us with open arms! She will be sorely missed, but her memories are going to live on for a really long time.

I offer this prayer for all the family of Mary Agnes Vaughan Heine:

Kindly Light of God,
look upon this family in their sorrow.
and gather their pain into your peace.
Be with them in their grieving, and
overcome all their doubts.
Shine upon them so as to awaken their gratitude for your gifts of love and tenderness.
As Mary's loved ones are able to
receive them, day upon day, show
them the lessons of life that can
be learned in death.
Rise upon all Mary's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren so they may love and comfort one another; through the Light of the World, Amen.

I was sitting here working today and my mind wandered off to Grandmother. Suddenly, I could smell her perfume. Brought a smile to my face. What an amazing, kind, sweet woman. Loved by so many!

Grandmother Heine was a ray of sunshine to everyone she touched!! I remember meeting her for the first time as a little boy, going for a swim with the Williamson boys. She is back together with her "clown maker"(I still have mine). May they both rest in peace!!

May all the precious memories that she provided to you all be forever embedded in your minds and passed down to all the generations to follow. She was an amazing woman and touched all that she meet. I will never forget her kindness, hospitality and smile. Chris and family, my prayers go out to you that you are comforted in knowing that someday you will be with her again. I love you all.

I can't imagine what my life would have been like had I not been blessed to have her in it. Her and her children were such an integral part of my childhood. Sweet, wonderful, warm memories abound in my heart because of her willingness to embrace all of us Randle Cliff's kids. She made all of us just another member of the family. What a loss. My heart goes out to all of you. The impact of her life will be felt for generations. May God send people who will walk with you during this time and in the days ahead.
