Oh, Herman, what a surprise to find out that your beloved Alice is in heaven.  How I remember the days at Clinton Baptist when I was a teen serving banquets with you two!  Always a servant’s heart!  I’ve lost track of you, over all these years, but have sweet memories of your love for Jesus and our friendship we shared at CBC when I was a teen.  I will be praying for you.  My mom went Home on May 31st (83 years old) so I share your sorrow over the loss of a loved one.   Sandy (Morse) Rios serving as a church planting missionary with TEAM in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Herman, Alice Ann, and Tracey,

Lois (Simpson) Hermann, just sent us the notice of Alice’ graduation to glory. We have fond memories of all of you, but now grieve with you in the loss of the presence of your wife and mother.

Life seems to zip by all too quickly. We didn’t know you were in Peannsylvania and find it hard to believe we left Clinton Baptist 20 years ago to live here in Lynchburg, Va.

We trust you will keep Alice’s memory very much alive to share with each other and the grands and greats.

Love, Babs and Charlie Wilson
