I never met Mrs. Heflin but Melanie and Susan have had such sweet and wonderful things to say about her. Such a person will be missed by all who knew her. My prayers are with the family at this time, especially the youngest ones who never had a chance to really know her and to those closest to her who will miss her physical presence even though her spirit lives on. God bless you all, Vada Adams

She was one of the grandest ladies I have ever known. Kind and gentle, yet strong and firm. She raised her family to have those characteristics as well. Those left behind can not help but miss her terribly. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Boo and Family,
We are thinking of you during this sorrowful time. Your mother lived a remarkable life that touched many others. We hope that sadness will soon be replaced with warm memories of a life well lived. Her quiet dignity, desire to serve others, and zest for living make a beautiful legacy.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of this very kind woman. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working for the Heflin's at Terminix years back and always thought Lynn was the the most elegant woman I had the pleasure of meeting. She will be truly missed.

Aunt Lynnye was always one of the most generous and nice people I knew. She always remembered me and was always ready to offer congrats for anything I ever did that was even slightly good. We will miss you.

My sincere and deepest sympathy for your loss. I loved seeing her face here at BBMI doing the morning mail. She always kept the Milky Way Midnights for me. She was so special and a wonderful person.
