Mildred W. VanHeel

Deb, I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing and then to realize that your sister passed shortly before Christmas. Your mother was such a special person. She always made me feel so welcome. I will keep your family in my prayers. Carol (Kaess) McNamara-Miller

Dear Reding and VanHeel families. I just found out today that Sandy passed away before Christmas as I was looking for Millie's notice. I am so sorry for your losses. This is heartbreaking to lose two angels in such a short time. Both Sandy and Millie were awesome - I knew them both since meeting Debra in Kindergarten at St. Joes (love you Debra Louise) -- and drove them crazy as a kid. I babysat Mark and Dawn who were absolutely adorable. Your family was very important to me - Debbies/Millie's house was like a second home. Your family fixed so many of my size 11 1/2-12 narrow shoes over many years until they fell apart. Sending lots of love and will see you soon. Catherine Cowley
