I found this amongst some personal papers and letters that once belonged to Dolores Costello. She was once married to the actor John Barrymore and later to her Dr. John Vruwink. It seems from this lovely card that he delivered Mr. Stephen Gregory Heiner and thought I would share for family and friends to see. RIP

Condolences to all of the Heiner family. We will always remember Mr. Heiner as a sweet, kind, gracious gentleman who loved his family very much and was very proud of each of them! May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Joaquin Vargas Family

My deepest condolences to the Heiner family on the homegoing of their beloved patriarch Stephen. It was my honor & privilege to know him as a dear brother in the Lord & a valued co-worker at the Main Entrance at Disneyland Resort since my coming onboard in 2015. He graciously traded shifts w/ me a few times so I could get extra hours that week. Tho' I know I will see him again (hopefully soon!) in Glory, I do miss his warm smile & so friendly demeanor! May God richly comfort the Heiner family at this time!
