Elaine has always been “Mary Jo’s mom” to me. She had the smile of an angel and the patience of a saint. I loved her laugh. I am forever grateful I knew Elaine and for the whole Lorenz family who welcomed us Byerlys to 35th S.E. in 1967.

Our Deepest Sympathy goes to the Lorenz and Heitz Families, with the passing of Elaine (Heitz) Lorenz. Especially my father John “Jack” Heitz, with the passing of his sister and the longest relationship each was privileged to have with another on earth. I am so glad I grasped the opportunity to write to my dear Aunt Elaine, to share with her how her kindness and love touched my heart and life. All Our Love, Eric & Linda (Heitz) Kral (Niece and her husband).

My deepest sympathy to your entire family. Elaine was a treasure! I was blessed to have her as a neighbor and a true friend. She was always there for me when I needed her. May God hold her in the palm of His hand and hold all of you close to His sacred heart.
