Dear James, Krista, Daniel, Michael, Matthew, Mark, and Andrew,
We send our sincere sympathies to all of you. Your mother was such a bright shining star with her incredible smile, such a very hard worker no matter the difficulty, such a great cook pulling from her huge garden, her strong relationship with Jesus to get her through everything, and with so many more talents and gifts, especially her strong goal of home educating even when it was not popular just because she loved you all so much. The pain is not easy.... May your sorrowing hearts be comforted with God's mercy and love as we all remember a wonderful Adele!!

I'm so very sorry for your loss! I remember that every time I saw Mrs. Heckman, she always had a smile on her face, not a fake or forced one either, but a genuine smile that reached her eyes as well. I can't imagine your heartbreak, but know you are in our prayers!

I am grieving the loss of a wonderful friend. Like a beautiful butterfly, she has shed her earthly cocoon and is flying free. Adele was kind, loving, and compassionate. She loved her family, was passionate about living a wholesome lifestyle, full of energy, and eager to lend a helping hand in service to others. In spite of great pain, she made her last trip to the blueberry patch this summer...a service she thoroughly enjoyed and lovingly provided for many years. Her absence has been keenly felt by her Earth Food Coop family. She's left an honorable legacy for her children and grandchildren and may God's light that shone through her life shine on through yours. I pray God's healing and comfort to all of her family as you go through this time of great loss and deep sadness. God will see you through.
