Herman was such a sweet man. And so much a part of West Asheville Baptist Church. We will miss him. Much love to you, Madge and Sandra. Terrie
Madge & Sandra Jane,
Please accept our sympathy in Herman’s passing. What a great hope we have in Jesus. My short visit with Madge & Herman a few weeks ago out in the front yard was a Divine appointment of sorts. I remember seeing Herman face to face every Sunday when I was custodian when he came to ring the Sunday School bell. May the God of all comfort strengthen and comfort you during these days.
