To Mark and Lisa (and extended family):
I was sad to learn of your father’s death last week when I visited my Dad (Elmer Shertzer) at the Mennonite Home. He is greatly missed there. Dad and I always enjoyed talking with him (and with you, too). We are praying for you in your time of loss.
Mickey Williams and for Elmer Shertzer
