Ma Heiberger, as we called her at work, was amazing to work with. She was very skilled and compassionate nurse. And, she was always making something for someone with her crocheting skills. Sending prayers and hugs to the whole family.

We feel very blessed to have had Marion and Mel as neighbors. Besides being my neighbor, she was my special friend. I will miss seeing her girls too.

Sorry sorry to hear of "Ma Heibergers" passing. I worked with her on 2East. She was such a wonderful person. I am glad I got to know her. Even though it has been so many years I still always thought of her. I will keep a place in my heart for her.
