We've shared so many Christmas holidays and birthdays together for years and years. We have so many great memories of all your trips to our chalet in Houghton Lake, time in Arizona and vacationing trips to the Grand Canyon, Tenessee and Kentucky. Your blankets and needlework will be cherished forever. The girls grew up knowing you and you were a huge part of their lives. They all learned their first job at Bell Brook working next to you. You've been a huge part of my life for nearly 40 years. You blessed me with your son who I love with all my heart. You filled my heart with a mountain of memories over the nearly 40 years you were a part of my life. You lived a long meaningful life and you'll be deeply missed by me and all who were lucky enough to know you.
RIP Mom, I love you...

She was so sweet, thoughtful, and a hard worker. We loved her sweet encouraging smile! She made many quilts for several children & adults in the Bellows & Brown St. Church of Christ. One of her favorite sayings was "If you don´t use it it, you´ll lose it."

I have lots of great memories of working with Grandma Heinz at my first job at Mercy Bell Brook nursing home. She was a tough cookie with an amazing work ethic. She cared a lot about the people at the nursing home. I'm lucky to have spent that time with her and learned a lot from her. You will be missed Grandma Heinz.
