> I'm writing with the sad news that Heather Moz died last night of a heart attack. As you probably know, she had been struggling with numerous health issues over the past few years. Apparently it was quick last night and a friend was with her. Her daughter, Melinda, will be taking some time to decide on plans for a Memorial. Rev. Joan will be sending out a note to the congregation this afternoon, including information about reaching out to the family.<br>

I saw her Sunday afternoon at the music event at the church --it was the first time she had been out of the house for a while, she said, and she asked if she could come to some choir rehearsals now that we have the elevator back. <br>
