    Wanda, Barbara Sue, Bobby & Jimmy and entire family:My deepest sympathy to all of you and yours on the loss of your lovely, kind and sweet mother. I enjoyed my teen years so much after we moved to Trumann spending time at your mom's home. She was always so loving, friendly and Christian. She must have been loved a lot also to have lived so long. May she rest in eternal peace with God and all of his angels. Love and blessings,Susie

    I was very to hear of Mrs. Heathcock's passing. Every Thursday I took my nephew to the Library and Museum and he had to speak to her and pet the coyote. She was always very sweet and nice.

    My mom called me and told me that Ms. Heathcock had passed away. I can remember back years ago when at the Maple Grove Baptist Church when she was the song leader and I was the piano player. She will be dearly missed by all those who had the chance to know her. My sympathies go out to the entire family and may she rest in peace until the day when we meet again in Heaven. Mike Johnson.
