Dear Heffner family,
I'm so sorry to hear this news. I remember Teddy as a little guy, bright and cheerful and full of spunk, during my summers working at Cap Fed. I can only imagine that he continued to light up every room over the years since. I'll be thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort at such a difficult time.

For Mike and Donna,
I happened to be working with Mike when "Teddy " became your son. It was so inspiring to see the love and happiness he brought and was surrounded by. I remember thinking I was very fortunate to witness this event in your lives and happy you all shared it with us. I´m so sorry for your loss and hope somehow a memory from an old co-workers perspective knew the lottery in life Teddy was the recipient of and the absolute love that could be felt from your beautiful new family. God Bless, Lorie (Smith) Eyler
