Hello family and friends.

My sisters and I are sad to tell you that our mother, Barbara Heckman tragically passed away on Monday morning, June 16th. While we are all shocked for our loss, we know she is in a better place, free from suffering and at peace.

As things have developed, we found that she has no life insurance nor liquid assets to cover the mounting expenses. We are humbly coming to our collective communities to ask for your help. We have received many inquiries as to what you can individually do, so we created a GoFund Me account in Mom's name.

Please know that we would not be coming to you were it not absolutely necessary. Any amount helps in the collective fund to cover these expenses.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and kind assistance as we go through this journey together.

Love,

Christine, Lee Ann and Tara
