Condolences
Dear Donald,
It was with great sadness that I read in the Herald of the passing of your father on Christmas day. I my eyes, and I am sure in the eyes of everyone who knew him, he was a great man. Kind, hardworking, honest, loving and a fine Christian. He is the epitome of why I am so proud that my last name is also ‘Heydinger’. We will all miss him, but never forget the example he has left for all of us to follow. And it was with even greater sadness to read of the passing of you lovely wife Irene. Living in California, I did not have the opportunity to get to know her very well. But based on our few and short encounters I know that she was a very loving and generous soul. I cannot imagine the loss that you are feeling now. Please know that Chacha, I and my whole family share in your grief and our prayers are for you and all your family during this sad time in your lives.
Sincerely,
Jerry and Chacha Heydinger
