William "Bill" Heffelfinger

Dear Mrs. Heffelfinger,

I just wanted to take a moment from my day to say I am sad to hear about the passing of your husband William. I just found out yesterday from my Father. You do not know who I am but me, my Father, Brother and Mr. Heffelfinger went together to the Indianapolis 500 car race back around 1970 or so. I was about 15 then and 51 years old now. Boy did that time go quickly. We had some car trouble's along the way and I remember your husband filling up an empty plastic milk jug with water several times from a small pond just off the road which we used to fill a leaky radiator. We made it to the race and we had a fantastic time. My dad and Mr. Heffelfinger worked together at LOF for many years. Even though I was only with your husband for a weekend back in May 1970 it was a wonderful 3 days spent with not just my Dad and Brother but also a very nice, quiet gentleman named Bill Heffelfinger. Please take care Mrs. Heffelfinger. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Heffelfinger family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I always enjoyed having your family as neighbors, it made life more interesting. Hold on to the great memories...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am sorry for your loss. May you be at peace knowing he is in a wonderful place. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. It seems like just yesterday we were next door neighbors. Time goes by much too quickly. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Lu,
I was so sorry to hear about Bill and am so sorry I could not make it to the funeral home. You and your family are in my thoghts and prayers.
I've so enjoyed meeting you and Bill at our Tuesday night dinners. I hope to see you often on up coming Tuesdays.
Sincerely, Judy

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Sorry for your loss. I have fond memories growing up with the family.

DEAR FAMILY,

I'M SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT BILL. CHILDHOOD MEMORIES COME BACK TO ME. CRAIG,PAULA REMEMBER ? ONLY GOOD TIMES.

Laquitta, Craig, Paula, Eric, May, in time, precious memories bring you comfort. I am saddened for our family loss of Bill, a special man, your husband and father.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
