I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
I'm the grand-daughter of Vincent Heroux...please
except my deepest sympathy at the passing of a very special
man...you are in my thoughts & prayers.

With Sincere Sympathy
A loving thought, a quiet prayer that in this shadowed hour Our
Lord will give you comfort and His sustaining power.
He heals the broken in heart.

Gaby, Dorie, Helga and the whole office
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I'll
always remember the summers that we spent at Great Grandma &
Grandpa's in Oconto. We always looked forward to when Bernard
and Fizzy would come and spend time at home. Uncle Bernard used
to give us quarters to walk to get ice cream, and always loved
spending time with us even if we were interrupting a good card
game. My best to you all. Hope to see some of you at the
Cousin's Reunion this summer.

As I look at the picture of my great uncle
Bernard, I see the features of all the loved ones I cherished
when I visited my grandparents and reunited with our clan in
Kewaunee, Wisconsin. All those Heroux's and Belleau's! I
frequently heard mention of my grandma Mary's brother, Bernard,
and wife Fizzy. Bernard and Fizzy - they were always spoken
about as one would of close friends who live out of state.
My mother, Mary Jeanne Belleau-Schwenk, and I were finally able
to visit them in Lancaster back in 1985. Meeting them was a
highlight of our adventure traveling to the East Coast.
A couple of years later, I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area
and met my husband, Dave. We soon eloped to the San Francisco
city hall. We began to attend Lamplighter Music Theatre
productions and I quickly noticed the talents of William Neely
and Barbara Heroux. Wow! I was related! Another topic of
discussion was born with Uncle Bernard and Aunt Fizzy.
I think the world of those two people and the world was greatly
enriched by them. My condolences to all their many friends and
family. Love and Best Wishes, Kathryn Schwenk-Axtell,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this
time. May God grant you peace to sustain you and hold you in
the palm of His hand.

Jim,
Please accept my condolences and sympathy for the passing of
your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your
family.

Grandpa,
You will be missed. I will always remember family cookouts at
the Roosevelt Blvd house and walking in the cornfields behind
that house and having watermelon spitting seed contests and
basketball. After you moved to Olde Hickory and then
Valleybrook I will remember coming to dinner there on Sunday
nights and having great conversations with you and Nana when I
lived in Lancaster. I will always remember your generosity and
keen mind and opinions (even though I didn't always agree) and
how proud your were to have worked for Heil and have been of
service to your community. I will also always remember our trip
to WI for the family reunion and getting to see the area and
meet the people in your family that shaped your formative
years. You had a long life and accomplished much but now you
are at peace and hopefully reuniting with Nana who I know you
loved so much. God bless you, Grandpa!
Your granddaughter,
Jenny
My condolences to all. I remember Bernard and
Fizzy coming back to Wisconsin for my grandparents 50th.
Bernard was so full of stories of growing up in Oconto. I always
looked forward to his visits.

Jim, My sincerest sympathy goes out to you and
your family.
I'll always remember you called me the "maverick".

We would like to offer our condolences to the
entire Heroux family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult
time.
Love,
Amable and Shelley Brito
Jolinda and I wish to express our condolences.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all of his
friends. I will always remember Uncle Bernard stopping to visit
everytime he was in Milwaukee. I know my dad Francis always
looked forward to seeing him. I also remeber a time when we
visited Lancaster. Both Uncle Bernard and Aunt Fizzy were very
gracious. I think the visit to the Heil facility was what got me
interested in engineering. Now I realize who was responsible for
all those allnighters. Thank you for all the wonderful memories.
Joe Heroux - son of Francis and Audrey.
just wanted to send my thoughts and prayers
for the whole family. you are always in them.

Dear Family
It is our prayer that you find comfort and assurance of
Bernard's place in the Kingdom. As we celebrated the
Resurrection yesterday, we are reminded that if we are in Him,
we will live with Him in eternity.
Blessing and Peace to your family,
Steve, Julie, Joel and James Heroux

Dear PA cousins,
We extend our sympathies in your loss of Uncle Bernard. I
didn't know your parents that well but always enjoyed talking &
being with with them when they visited Wisconsin. What
wonderful people they were. Outstanding character and love of
family and God. I'm sure the Heroux clan is having a Heavenly
card party and Bernard is in charge of getting the drinks and
treats. Give Aunt Dorothy Merline an extra hug when you see
her.
Our condolences,
Lynn (Belleau)and Dennis Jisa
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We
so wish we were ther with you. Doug had surgery and that
changed our plans to come.
We have such fond memories of Bernard and Fizzy's trips to
Wisconsin...it was always a party. We had great times at their
home also. Bernard was a super "tour guide".
Our whole family sends their sincerest condolences. Please keep
in touch.

To the children, and grandchildren of Mr.
Heroux:
I work at St. Anne Church Rectory, ever since I was hired by
dear friend, John and began employment in the church office as
of Feb. 1, 1970. John was more than a pillar of our parish
community. I owe so much to him for allowing me to work at St.
Anne Church under the pastorship of Msgr. Francis Mongelluzzi.
Along with his wife Elizabeth, they were a very much respected
couple in the parish.
Always a smile on John, and a kind word to you. A positive
thinker and person in life, involved in many aspects of the
parish and community life.
Know he was much respected by the priests of Lanc. County, being
involved in the Serra Club, honoring priests.
Back in the late 60's I joined the choir at St. Anne's under the
direction of John Heroux. Never lost his patience with any of
us, and kept his gentleness
always.
A long life he lived, a true family man, and honoring God
always.
For yrs. since John resided at St. Anne Home in Columbia, I sent
him at his request the Parish Bulletin from the church office.
There is and will be loss to his large loved family. We too, as
parishioners of St. Anne Church who were involved in various
aspects with John, will miss him.
May you, the sons, daughters, beloved grandchildren and great
grandkids and his sister, know that I send you all my personal
sympathy in the loss of a great man, your father and grandfather
and our friend.
May John Rest in Peace, as know he is and did on Easter Morn
with Jesus on that wonderful Holy Easter Day. He now lives in
heaven with your mother and our friend Elizabeth. Blessings to
all of you. Sincerely, Rita R. Boyer, friend and still employed
at SAC at age and proud 80 yrs. old
I wish to extend my deepest sympathy and
prayers to Mr. Heroux. I was his secretary while I worked at
The Heil Co. between 1973 through 1979. He and his wife were
warm and welcoming anytime I would run into them after we both
left The Heil Co.
I had no idea that he was so involved in the Church, and never
knew that he was in the choir! I've visited St. Anne's
Retirement home many times and didn't know that he was there.
I believe the only one of his children I met was Greg while he
worked at The Heil Co. during the summer(s).
I have many fond memories of your parents and of my time working
with your father.
Sincerely,
Janice "Jan" Abbott
I am a grandson of Bernard's sister Mary. I
hear from my aunts that Bernard was very kind to my mother and
father Don and Dawn Belleau. I don't think I ever met Bernard
but I am moved by their remembrance and I offer my condolences
to his family. His generosity and kindness has not been
forgotten.
