I am sorry to hear of your mother's death. You may remember the Heffron family as former neighbors on Karen Dr/Melody Heights. I enjoyed knowing your mother and father as neighbors and friends. The Heffron family share in your sorrow. We can empathize after losing our beloved Don July 10, 2004. Please accept our sincere condolences. Doris Heffron
