The Little Guys lose one of our own.

The Little Guys are heartbroken to report that our own Sandra Heiss passed on Tuesday, June 9, 2009.  Sandra and Jerry Heiss are true friends to all of us in The Little Guys.  They are also members of The Over The Hill Gang and have been close friends for many years.  Sandra chaired the Fall Mountain Run several years and served on numerous committees.  She is our current Vice President and Parliamentarian and couldn't say "no" to anyone asking for help with any project.  I have so many great memories of time spent with Sandra and Jerry; Cruisin Grand, Fall Mountain Runs, dinners, club functions and cruises. Our hearts go out to Jerry and his family for this huge loss. 

Sandra we all love you and will miss you.

Sandra Ann Heiss VALLEY CENTER -- Sandra Ann Heiss passed away on Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Sandra enjoyed many interests including the Padres, Wild Animal Park, RV'ing, "Sisters in Crime" writers group, and The Herbal Society. She held leadership positions with two local street rod clubs: Over the Hill Gang, North County and The Little Guys. She also was on the Fall Mountain Run committee for several years and chaired it twice. Sandra was a devoted mother and grandmother, both to her immediate and extended families. She was in all regards, a great lady, who is sorely missed. She is survived by her husband Jerry, their children, Shelly Carlin, Amy, Nancy, Steve and Tim Heiss, her grandchildren, Alex, Abel, Zach and Kyle Heiss, Aaron Dial, and Kaitlyn Carlin, the joy of her life. There will be a private Celebration of Life at a future date.

Letter from Jerry Heiss

June 19, 2009 

Dear Tim: 

You asked me to let you know if we decided to have a Celebration of Life for Sandra.  Shelly and I, after consulting with some close friends and in keeping with Sandra’s wishes, have decided to have a small intimate gathering of family and close friends.  I know that all of “The Little Guys” wish us the best as we struggle with our loss.  Please let them know that Shelly and I appreciate their support and prayers.  In the mean time, if the club or any members would like to do so, a small donation in Sandra’s name to either The American Cancer Society or The American Diabetes Society would be a wonderful tribute.

Sincerely,

 Jerry Heiss
