We wish to tell you how much you mean to us all
You gave us love and care and encouragement and made sure we wouldn’t fall
You listened, you laughed, and you stood so very strong
You did that for your family because it was family that you longed
We love you with our hearts and souls and it pains us to our core
But we know where you are now, and in the Heavens, you have soared
Rest with sweet Jesus now because you have earned your wings
And we will forever think of you when we hear the Heavens sing
Forever and ever we love you
Condolences to the Dave Heck family. May Our Good Lord give you all the strength to get through your loss. Dave and Barbara were good to work for at the Hungry Traveler. Hasta la vista Amigo.
