Gwen Heckethorn
IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our beloved mom and grandma, Gwen Heckethorn, who passed away November 14, 2010.

Your mother is always with you...

She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.

She’s the smell of the bleach of your freshly laundered sheets.

She’s the cool hand on your brow when you are not well.

Your mother lives inside your laughter and your tears.

She’s the place you came from, your first home.

She’s the map that you

follow... with every step that you take.

She’s the one who loved you first and your first teacher and nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, nor space, not even death will ever separate you from your mother...

You carry her inside of you...

Not only were you my mother, you were my best friend.

Until we meet again...

All my love and miss you so very much.

Ann and Family
