In memory of Kathie Sue Heinzelman, Margaret Bowman lit a candle
We always enjoyed spending time with Kathy, Russ, and the boys. Kendra will always have fond memories of dancing to Dd& the Farohs with Kathy. We were so sorry to hear that Kathy got sick. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. We will always have fond memories of Kathy and Russ get togethers, especially on Beckett’s Mountain. We’re thankful that Barb introduced us and that her friends became ours. Peace be with you.
Caspar is one of my dearest friends. I don't believe I ever had the privilege of meeting Kathie, but I have met Tom & Nancy. My heart goes out to your entire family with deepest sympathy. As hard as this is, try to take comfort in knowing that she is now perfect and in eternal paradise. God Bless.
I did not know Kathie, but know her family. I rejoice that she has gone where there is no pain or tears. I also mourn with those left here without her presence in their lives. Loving prayers for all.
Luke, Crystal and Family.... Our deepest sympathies and prayers for you all!! We trust that the Lord will comfort you and give you strength through this time. May you experience the Joy and Peace knowing your Mom is in the presence of The Lord!! And may reflecting on the many memories of her life bring you happiness and a smile on your hearts!! She was a Fabulous woman- blessing everyone she met with her kind and loving soul!! She was and will always be an ENCOURAGEMENT to us! Charming and Beautiful in every way. We feel privileged to know her and look forward to seeing her again!! All our Love! Rigo & Tara Arce....
Your cancer is cured and you have arrived home and you’re missed here by your family and friends. The light of our Savior shined in you. Until we meet again: luv you!
We are all thinking about you and lifting you all up in prayer! Happy Birthday to Kathie in Heaven today. We were so blessed to know her. She was an integral part of the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System/family. There were many times over the past years that I would call to see if Kathie could come over to assist in the Directors Office. She was well respected, and such a consummate professional that she was always sought after. I'll remember her for her positive attitude, hard work ethic and her heart. She was truly an inspiration to all that knew her here! She had a great heart for our Veterans and in the service to the Federal Service. Our thoughts are with you as you honor her memory next week - there will be a few of us there from the Directors Office! We look forward to meeting the family that she always bragged about! Please let us know if there's anything that we can do!
Mom I love you so very much. Happy Birthday!! I know you are in Heaven looking over me now.
