My sincere sympathy to Joanne, Darlene and the entire family. I remember watching this dear lady serving our Lord and Savior by playing the piano and the organ at Stehman’s Church so many Sundays. Well done thou good and faithful servant! chris Ressler

Dear Metzger Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy at this time of Minerva’s passing. My friendship with her goes back many years, and we shared a common bond ~ we both loved music and the playing of the piano and organ. We often played together at Stehman’s Church, Minerva played the piano and I played the organ, or the other way around. For each of us, it was our service to the dear folks at Stehman’s and to our God, who has called her home now. Our music partnership is a special memory for me, and I trust that all your special memories will be a source of comfort throughout these fragile days.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,
Nancy Barley

Dear Joanne and Darlene,
How well we remember your mother playing the beautiful hymns of our faith at Stehman’s Church. Her music and the sharing of it was a special gift. In later years, I enjoyed seeing her at John Herr’s where we would chat for a minute. May you find peace in knowing that Minerva; Good and Faithful Servant has been welcomed home by her Lord.
With our sympathy,
Kenny and Nancy Witmer
