Helen (Nee Burk) Heister
October 11, 1913 — February 12, 2005
God saw she was getting tired,
renewed strength was not to be,
So He put His arms around her and
whispered "Come with me".
With tearful eyes we see her leave,
and watch her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly,
we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Preceded in death by parents; daughter, Helen "Fran" Heister; 1 grandson, Steven Bruning.
