Celia "Sally" Emeline Heiner's Obituary
Celia(Sally)Emily Heiner
I have passed and gone to see those loved ones that departed before me and await my arrival. They have waited for a long time, but I am joyful and at peace with them and with my Father in Heaven. I know my husband, daughters, and all my family will grieve at my departure. But if I could, I would tell them to rejoice and be exceedingly glad for the place in which I now dwell now surpasses all earthly understanding. I am truly in a place of great joy and happiness. I will watch over you all and await the moment when we will be together again. Do not cry for the short time we will be apart. Instead, rejoice for the eternity we will spend together.
