David.. Just want you and the rest of your family to know I am sorry for your loss and I will be praying for you. I have known Hershel for a long time and he was always nice to me. He was a great man and he will be missed. Rest assured the angels are rejoicing because he is now in Heaven. I sat with him for a long time at the funeral home the other night. He looked so peaceful.. It was almost as if he was going to sit up and start talking to me. God spoke to me while I was in there and he said Hershel is dancing in Heaven and he is free of pain!! I believe that with all my heart and I know we will meet again in the Kingdom of our Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love you .. Pam
