Hello to everyone that visits this site. We all have so many wonderful memories of him and know that so many others have great memories too. Please feel free to leave a comment and share your memories with us. Thanks so much. ~The Verl Heap Family
To Aunt Dawn, her kids (my cousins) and all of your family, I'm so sad that I wasn't able to be there for Uncle Verls funeral. My son is leaving on his mission in a few days and we had so much to do to get him ready to leave, so I wasn't able to travel to St. Johns at this time. I found this website from April's blog and sat and cried as I read all the great tributes to Uncle Verl and recalled many wonderful ways he influenced my life. I have always been proud to say that I know "Coach Heap" and that he is my Uncle! I remember all of the trips the cheerleaders got to take with the teams and how Uncle Verl always treated me so special. I know he tried not to show any favorites, but hey, I'm his niece!! Aunt Dawn and Uncle Verl have always been such a great example to me. I think of Aunt Dawn and what a dedicated and loving wife and mother she is! She taught me that THAT is the kind of mother I wanted to be and she was always there supporting her husband though everything! I have so much more I could write, and I will in a letter soon, but just wanted you to know I found this wonderful blog site and couldn't read it without leaving my love and to say how much I love Uncle Verl. Love to all of the HEAPS, Kathy (Grant) Peterson
