Stephen and family, May you be comforted in His embrace as you celebrate the home-going of this saint. The parting is only temporary as you will all meet at the glorious feet of the One Who loves us. His presence surround you this day and forward.

Appreciated Herschel and Martha’s friendship and hospitality throughout many years. I respected Herschel’s godly counsel as a young woman in college, when I’d return to my home church of Riverside Baptist, and then as he conducted Dave’s and my wedding ceremony. Our family has kept in touch and will look forward to meeting again in Heaven. May God comfort you Martha and family in the days ahead.

Martha, Stephen,Julie and extended family,
I/We were sadded to hear of Herschel moving on to be with Jesus. We know that he is comfortable and at peace. I so wished one day that Greg and my children could of met him. He was someone I referred about with my memories as a christian man of Leadership for his family and God. I have fond memories of his silliness especially when he would mimic “All in the Family”” Archie Bunker/Carol O””connor

A fun and fantastic youth group pastor for many years in Sprucedale…I have many fond memories. Pushing the van out of the ditch was always a hoot. Condolences to Hershel’s family and friends.
