My thoughts and prayers are with Chris and Mary Heffelfinger, and the rest of the Heffelfinger family at this time of sorrow. Grace is now in peace, and I wish them comfort knowing that she is with our Lord in his everlasting kingdom. A mother's love lives on within her children, and may your memories sustain you. Peace be with you all.

My love and prayers to the family of Grace and especially to Chris and Mary who I know from Christ Lutheran. Our days on this earth are numbered by the Lord but to spend an eternity with Him is our blessed hope. May the peace that passes all our understanding be with you in the days ahead.

I grew up, going to church with Grace. I have nothing but good memories of her around Stouchsburg, and Christ Lutheran. Her passing omes as a shock to me. I extend my deepest sorrows and sympathies for the family.
