      Jodie, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I have many fond memories of our summer field trips that she would plan. That was always the best part of my summers as a kid. You and her would always include me in your Birthday parties. I always loved going to your house, it was always decorated nicely and she made it so homey. Our Moms were always there for each other thru their cancer battles. I am so sorry and so sad she is gone. I hope the many fond memories she created will give you peace at this time. Love, Janae

    Dear Heitmann family,

    I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet wife and mother. I worked with her for many years when she came to BoysTown. She was always a joy to work with and spoke so proudly of her family.
    Prayers for your family during this time of loss.

    Dear Mel and family
    We were so very sorry to read Cathy’s obituary. I know Cathy fought a long battle. She was such a special soft spoken lady. I have fond memories of time spent with Cathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. We’re so sorry that we will be out of town and unable to attend either her visitation or memorial service. Prayers…Phil and Marilyn Lorenzen

    I am so sorry for your loss. Cathy was always so nice. Even through all her battles, she was always inquiring how I was doing after she learned of my health issue several years ago. Such a sweet lady.
