Mrs. Heflin was an amazing teacher and a very fine human being. I loved having her for a class my senior year of high school and she was always a friendly face when I would come back to visit. She will be greatly missed.

I havent seen her for many years, but as a teen she would hug me when I needed a hug, and yell at me when I needed yelled at. She never held back and while some of my choices werent the best, she never judged me. I have missed much but will always think of her fondly.

My best "Mom" Heflin memory was when I was an Active DeMolay in my teens, she made me feel comfortable to read. I believe it was poetry. She was SO nice to me. Such a great family. I miss them.
