To all of the Hefter Family, friends, and everyone. The love and support for all of you is a beautiful gift. The time spent at Chatsworth High School was so difficult with all the waiting and not knowing. My heart goes out to Jacob, who was just too young to leave this world. I do know that he is with us in spirit, forever. Al,Angie,Jared,Jordan,Stephanie, know that if there is anything that I can do for you, I am always ready to help. I love you all so much. Peace be with you and God Bless you.

My deepest sympathy for the Hefter Family. I have never met the family nor Jacob, I just started working at Palmdale High two weeks ago but as a mother it hurts my heart the pain you are going through and can't imagine your sorrow. God give you strength during this trying time and comfort knowing your son was a great person and heaven has gained him for a reason. God be with your family.

There are no words that we can say to ease the pain. But we can laugh, and cry at the memories, and the new ones that we can only imagine now that John and Jacob are together in heaven. We have definitly lost two of the best!

She was just elected President of our Alumni Association of Phillips Graduate Institute, where she received one of her several degrees. All of us knew she would be great in that position, because she could generate such a warm rapport with people almost instantly. She'll be greatly missed; it's a tragic loss for all of us.

Rest in Peace, Bev.

Bev, I will miss our talks in your office and the yearly "girls getaways" to destinations unknown. Your hugs, laughter and love will be in my heart forever.

To the Family, I know the love you shared will provide you with the strength you will need to move forward. As you begin to build a different life without Bev, know she will be beside you helping you and loving you. Your friends and family will be there to support and guide you. We will be there to hold your hand and to hug you when you are lonely and sad. It is important to carry Bev's dreams and move ahead holding onto her love for you, her children, and grandson as this will be part of her legacy.

People who have had the privilege of knowing Bev need not tell you what a wonderful person she was. We are all truly blessed to have known her, if for even a brief time.

I didn't know Jacob but i did go to the same school as him while i was a junior. im sorry for the Hefter family for losing someone very close to them, i know its hard to lose anyone you love i had that feeling before and i don't want that happening again anytime soon.Jacob is now resting in peace, even though its too soon but he is in a better place now and he is going to be watching over you in spirit.pray hard and he will be listening right next to God. Stay strong.

Chris made the daily reporting of workers compensation enjoyable. I had the privilage of speaking with Chris on a daily basis to review claims. Often the call would last 15-20 min because after we would discuss business which took about 3-5min we would talk about life. Chris and I spoke that Friday morning and I did not know than that it would be the last. I wished him a great weekend and said I would talk to him Monday I was sure, we both laughed. My thoughts are with his family and close friends during this tough time. I will miss my daily calls with Chris. I am glad to have known him and be able to call him a co-worker and friend.

I cannot believe you are gone chris, but i know you are watching over all of us. Sharon and the girls will always be in my prayers. You were always the jokester at Adelphia and played several pranks on me. But I got you back when I took you to lunch and told the restaurant it was our anniversary. The look on your face when they sang happy anniversary to us was priceless....as I said "got you". Lynne even had baloons at your desk that said happpy anniversary. You were a true friend who was never forgotten even though I left Adelphia and moved to Missouri.
I know we will meet again.....so until then, goodbye my friend

howard was a lovable caring guy he replaced everyone who ever cared for us he was a big huggable teddy bear i am his grandson he will be greatly missed as the great loving caring guy he always was. he was the greatest person i ever knew. he was the greatest person that anyone would know.he will be missed very very greatly in everyones hearts.i miss him because he was my grandfather my father and my best friend.

Jacob, even though I never met you or new about you I new your mom and of your brother from my son Adrian. I know that you are with GOD and I can fairly say that we are jealous of you. Mrs. Hefter, I am so sorry for your loss, I know there are no words that I can say to make the pain go away. I can't and don't want to know how it feels to lose a son. It is said that the ones left behind are the ones who suffer the most. Jared has kept in touch with my son since they left school, which means that this affects my son in the way that they continue to be friends.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
