To My Grandma Heaps,
It is hard to see you go, but you get to be with Jesus forever. So it is a little easier to say goodbye. Thank you for the life you lived, thank you for loving me. You were always there for me. You are such a sweet person, but you always had gusto that made you who you are. You made delicious food, that I love to eat. You won at games, and if you didn't you would say Grandma's rules and then somehow win. It was fun playing games with you and being with you. I love you Grandma, I am glad God made you. You were and still are a blessing to me. I hope you enjoy heaven. God bless. Love your Grandson.##imported-begin##Matthew Heaps II##imported-end##

Rosemary was a wonderful lady and we always enjoyed the family gatherings where the Bronoske's and the Heaps would gather together. Our prayers are with her family during this very difficult time but we have the hope that one day we shall see her again in Heaven. May God bless and comfort you and give your hearts peace. With Love, Randy and Margaret##imported-begin##Margaret and Randy Heinzman##imported-end##
Thank you for sharing 47 years of my life Mom! How quickly those years have flown. It seemed like yesterday you were herding us children back into our seats just before we landed in Germany to start the Heaps world tour! Michael actually kicked it off earlier in El Paso and then you collected additional winnings in Las Vegas with Michele, Martin and I. Who knew it would be such a glorious time. El Paso, Las Vegas, Germany, Idaho, Kansas, California, Philippines and finally Washington State (no children were lost, only my shoes!). We learned a lot about Love during those years! What an example you and Dad have shown us. We know how to love our spouses as the romance between the two of you was clearly visible. We know how to love our children as you gushed over us with your maternal love! Most importantly you showed us how to Love God and be Loved by God because you walked with God everyday.
Eternal rest, grant unto my Mother, O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. No man is poor who has a godly mother. ~ Abraham Lincoln
All my Love,
Your Son, Matthew##imported-begin##Matthew Thomas Heaps##imported-end##
Although I never had the honor of meeting Rosemary Heaps, I know part of her family very well, and have actually been semi-adopted by them! And so I feel like Rosemary, who must have been a wonderful woman because her son Matt is a wonderful man, is a bit like a grandmother to me.
I want to thank the Lord for her because in her love she gave the world many, many gifts, and I pray that she will rest in the Eternal Communion of the Most Holy Trinity. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord.
Peace - Sr. Mary Paul##imported-begin##Sr. Mary Paul Friemel##imported-end##
I have only had the joy of knowing Rosemary Heaps (my mother-in-law) for some 26 years. During that time Mom has always loved me as a daughter. She gave me the most precious gift I could ever receive by giving me Matthew, my dear husband. I will miss the HUGE Sunday dinners with the family and the heart to heart talks that gave me comfort just when I needed it most.
She truly has touched so many hearts and lives, and although it is hard to imagine the world without her, it is easy to imagine heaven rejoicing because she (our MOM) is there.
Lord,
Please wrap Your arms gently around all of us who are grieving for Mom.
Give strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
Let Your presence be felt in a very special way especially for Papa, because You are the One who loves us so much.
All my love … Your Daughter… Suzanne##imported-begin##Suzanne Heaps##imported-end##
My beloved Rosemary, I am empty without you at my side, but my spiritual heart is full of joy in your victory over death and the pain that you suffered for so long. When you became ill, I prayed to God that I could take care of you for the rest of your life ... just as I promised in our wedding vows , "I would love you in sickness and in health." God granted my request. As you promised me, our love is for always and forever.
Your loving husband, Bill##imported-begin##William R. Heaps (Spouse)##imported-end##
