Douglas C. Heffernan

Dearest Mona, years have passed and my Jimmy And son Mark have joined Doug. Thinking of you after all these years and believe or not June I graduate with my BA in Psychology thanks to you giving me a chance so long ago. Love always, Chris Rowland Fusco

Mona,Scott,Kim,Patrick:

I was so sorry to hear of Doug's passing. He was an exceptional man, and will remain so in my memory. Anytime I think of Sand Pond, I think of Doug. I am grateful to have known him and will always appreciate the kindness he showed my kids (they have had many tubing rides but none quite like the ones with Doug at the helm). I am also indebted to him for numerous rescues on the pond. His fireworks displays were always exciting and unpredictable. I feel...

Dear Mona,

We are very sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this time. We will always remember the kind words Doug had when we were visiting the Cozzi's or just passing by in our pedal boat. We hope to see you at the lake this summer.

To Mona, Kim, Scott, Pat

It is difficult for all of us to believe Doug is not home with you. We share your grief, sorrow, frustration and anger- and so many other feelings at this difficult time. We are very sorry that his smiling face is no longer home with you....We believe though, that his face IS now smiling. He is in a safe place, watching over you, until the day you (and we) meet him again. Doug's spirit is still here in each one of us that he has touched. Doug was a...

Our sincere sympathy goes to Mona, the kids, (they will always be kids), and the entire Heffernan family. You have always been there, right down the street, and you have always meant more to me than you will ever know.
I cannot help but thinking of a sentence Doug wrote in one of his last email msgs. Who would have ever thought things would end up like this? We never know!
My thoughts are with you all. Stay well.

Love,
George

Dear Mona, Kim & Matt, Scott & Kim, Patrick and unborn children,
We feel so blessed to have you all and to have had Doug in our lives. His positive outlook, laughter and his saying "excellent" are special memories. We only knew Doug a few years but loved he and Mona from the start. Actually we love the whole family and especially miss living close of our favorite friends, Kim and Matt. We are with you all in spirit as you get through this sad time. We do smile to think that Doug is...

"The next place that I go/Will be as peaceful and familiar/As a sleepy summer Sunday/And a sweet,untroubled mind.And yet..it won't be anything like any place I've ever been...or seen...or even dreamed of/In the place I left behind.I won't know where I'm going,and I won't know where I've been/As I tumble through the always/and look back toward the when.I'll glide beyond the rainbows,I'll drift above the sky.I'll fly into the wonder,without ever wondering why.I won't remember getting...

Dear Mona & Family,
I want to express my deepest sympathies to you at this very difficult time. Doug was always a fighter and he certainly fought this illness to the end. I will always remember Doug and the "Excellent" attitude he had.
