Mrs Heard was such a stylish woman and her daughters followed in her foot steps. Never had a hair out of place and always a pretty smile. I will always remember her as one of our supportive Band Moms at The Mighty Velt along with my mom, Mrs Henderson and others. I pray that the peace of God dwells in Donna, Karen and Greta during this difficult time. Family, hold each up!! You will get through this. Amen

Momma, I miss you and will always love you. You raised us to be the women that we are today. Karen and I held your hands the last night of your life, we had the music playing, joking telling you to drop it like it's hot...you just smiled. GOD has called you home to rest. You will always be in my heart, my dear momma...until we see each other again...
