On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina turned our lives upside down. Our home was flooded with eight feet of water and was heavily damaged. We managed to rebuild it and sold it in October 2008.
After the hurricane, we decided to move to a higher elevation, so we bought a lot in	Diamondhead,	MS in December 2005	and	began building
our new home. We moved into	our new home at the	end	of October
2008. The past	five years have been a challenge	for	us, as well as
the many people	who also had	their homes flooded	and	destroyed by
Katrina. The past five years also brought into our lives three beautiful grandchildren that we love so very much.
Whatever the future has in store for us, we can thankfully say that we have had a great life with many blessings. Jerry and I are both retired, and we plan to do a lot of traveling. I am 5'5" tall, 132 pounds, with dark-brown hair, and brown eyes. Jerry says that I have been the best wife and mother a person could ask for. Further information on Jerry is found in the Heitzmann Family History.
Although Stan and Dorothy's marriage ended in divorce, Dorothy usually had more good, rather than bad, to say about him. She told us how good he was to little Stanley and Debbie before they broke up. No one seems to know exactly why they separated. Debbie still remains in close contact with her father. Stan's character and personality can be described as very friendly and out-going. He seems to make friends where ever he goes. His favorite past time is fishing. He always has a nice fishing boat to get him around and is always keeping us informed as to what is biting in Florida. Stanley was 5?8" tall, weighing 170 pounds in his prime, with brown eyes and black hair.	He claims no religious	affiliation although he believes in	God.	He
was regarded as a good family	man by his second wife, as well as,	his first
wife, Dorothy Bourgeois.
