Sandy, I was not here when Hurshel passed away. Not long ago I saw the two of you in the grocery store. You both looked happy and healthy then. We never know when it is our time to depart. I just lost my dear brother to blood cancer. We are never ready to give them up. Hurshel was very considerate & understanding to others in PWP. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Sandy, Aunt Mae and family,
Hurshel was the only man who ever aggravated and teased me as mercilessly as Uncle Raymond did. He will forever be remembered for his gruff sense of humor and all the laughter he created in his wake. Peace of heart and mind are my wish for you during this trying time. Sending my love to all.
