Marsha, Chris & Jim:
Your families have our sympathy during this difficult time. I have some good memories of your Dad, as the Hemrick family was family friends and neighbors. I remember always riding my bicycle over to the farm and Paule would show me how he milked the cows and he would let me help. And whenever there was a wedding reception or dance, he was always out there dancing away. He was such an ornery character! Always cherish the memories and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sharon, Terry & Family
