The only hope I had that my husband went to heaven when he died was because of pastor heizer. They became great friends. Love you so much still

One of the worst times in my life was when my baby died and without the heizers I can't imagine what would have happened. Pastor Heizer was there for my husband when I was to sick to do anything and for that there are no words. When my husband died both of them were my comfort and support. I think of them often, and will always miss them

I picked up a commentary last night to look something up and it was one Pastor Heizer had given my husband in 1978. When I read what he had written in it to Joe, I cried remembering the wonderful times we had with him and Helen. We were like family.

Janelle,

When I was a very young girl your parents took me in their foster home. For 5 1/2 years they treated me as a daughter. I remember them very fondly. I believe they are the reason I am saved today and living for Christ. I am deeply thankful for the seed of life they planted many years ago. I am sorry for your losses. Glad they are at peace with the Father.
