It is with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Bette. I have not seen her for many years but I close my eyes and I hear that magical laughter.... I will remember her always for her warmth,compassion, humour and the support she and Heff gave me in times of trouble. I know how much her family will miss her...gone but never forgotten.

Mrs. Heffelfinger was like a second mom to me while Les and I lived together. I was always treated like part of the family and I learned a lot of things from her. I will miss her. Our prayers and deepest sympathies go to all of The Heffelfinger Family for their loss. With Love . . . Teresa and Steve

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. H. She was a woman who touched so many lives including mine. I always felt welcome in the Heffelfinger house and Mrs. H made all of Leslie's friends feel part of the family. I have fond memories of her laughter and quick wit. No one can feel your loss the way that your family does, but I can say that my heart breaks for you and my prayers go out to all of the Heffelfinger family.
With love,
Shirley & Randy Trites
