I want to convey my deepest sympathies to all the Heins and Welbes families. Grandma Marie was a very special lady and will always hold a special place in my heart...for all the love and laughter we shared over the years, and for the love she showed Hannah and Tyler. One of my most special memories of Marie are of her making her homemade caramels. She was always so thoughtful. My prayers for peace and comfort go out to you all. Heaven is blessed by her presence.
