Words cannot express enough what a Special part this Family was to me & my daughters. Herman, I know you are complete once again. I will always see you & Lois sitting on the porch. Always! Your kind & loving care cannot put a price on the fortune I found to have had your family a part of mine. Though tears are flowing for all who loved you, how complete must they feel. Your chair might be empty but you left our hearts full. Say Hello & Hug Lois for me. My memories are beyond measure. Love Always.
The mystery of life, the certainty of death, the passion in the details of each day to day. Somehow through it all walking ahead knowing that the savior cried over the departed as well. All the best always.
