We’re so sorry for your loss. Having lost our mothers years ago, we relished knowing that Mrs Heathman was still with us-a mother remained so we weren’t alone. I remember hanging out at Marty’s house, sampling dandelion wine your dad made, and listening to Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass. Mrs. H was always gracious and kind and never worried about all the noise we made-or didn’t make. We will be out of state when the service is. Please know that I send hugs and hugs! Vicki & Marta

My husband, Ernie Kumpf, and I remember Jerry with great fondness. We worked with her at South Park. She had a beautiful smile and loved working in the cafeteria and interacting with the students. She was a very special lady.
