Dear Uncle Art,

LIKE A SONG - that remains in the heart when the music is playing no more, LIKE A FRAGRANCE - that stays in the air where a flower has blossomed before, LIKE A POEM - that's warmly recalled long after the poet is gone...When a LIFE is WELL-LIVED it will leave lovely memories lingering on.

Your love will always be with me - your laughter, your wisdom, your advice, thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity are the gifts you gave to me, family and friends. May God keep you in His loving care.

All of our love,

Barbara, Kyme and on behalf of your beloved, deceased sister and brother-in-law, Leona Burrows Heideck and William D. Heideck
