To the Health Family:  I grew up in Havelock, attended First Baptist Church and had the opportunity know Mrs. Heath.  She was a kind and remarkable person.  Additionally, she and my mother (Sallie Benton, d. 01/04/2001) worked together in the telephone office at Cherry Point.  On behalf of my mother's children, please know that we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Heath family: I send condolences for the loss of Mrs. Heath. I remember her well. She and my mom (virgie ackert) worked together at the telephone office on base for many years. I also remember being friends with Judy growing up. Mrs. Heath and my mother each passed on Christmas day. I believe those are truly special people.

Linda and family,   I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. What an amazing woman. So glad I got to meet her and your family while working with her through the years in home health therapy. She will surely be missed! I have you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Judy and family, 
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Juanita Howard sends her sympathy and prayers of comfort for all of the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing.  I worked with Dorothy at Cherry Point over 30 years ago.  Dorothy was such a thoughtful person.  The main thing that I remember was how much she loved her daughters.  I was only 20 at the time and she would talk to me about the importance of family love and committment.

Dear Barbara and family,
My heart is sad for you all.  Please know that you have been, and will continue to be, in my thoughts and prayers.  

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Deut. 33:27

  My deepest sympathies for your loss.  Your family has truly lost a matriarch yet in time I am hopeful you will relish in all the memories and lesson she has left with you.  I will pray for your comfort during this difficult time.

Janet, Linda, Barbara and Judy,
Thinking of you in the loss of your mother on Christmas Day.  What a blessing to have had her for 88years.  That blessing will not lessen the hole left in your hearts and lives.  Enjoyed the pictures, familiar faces and places.  May God bless all of your families with comfort.
