Dear Mr. & Mrs. Dan & Ruth Heyburn family,
My condolences to you upon hearing of the death of the matriarch. I was blessed to have met her, served as pastor, and prayed numerous daily Masses with her present. I will offer Masses for the repose of her soul. May God receive her soul into eternal life. God bless you and yours.
Fr. Carl Kerkemeyer, Durant, Oklahoma
My sincere condolences to the Heyburn family. Our lives were closely intertwined in Miami for so many years. Rockdale always brings memories of great neighbors and friends, safety, consistency, friendship, golf/tennis/swimming. It was a great place to grow up because of our parents who were so connected! I've never lived in another neighborhood like it. Ruth was always a powerful force, a strong woman, and a forever friend. Rest in peace, Ruth. The Giffhorns will never forget you.
Our condolences to Mark, Anne, Danny, James, John and Mary. I will always remember your mom in mass at Sacred Heart, sitting in the pew with her family, your Dad next to her. Difficult to not have their presence in our world though we know they are at rest and reaping the rewards of a long and faithful life. My best to you and your families.
