Prayers for all of the Schertzer family. My heart will be heavy when I pass the church pew, at Central Christian Church, where he proudly sat with Pat, every Sunday. He was such a dear and loving soul. He worked so hard for the church whether it was keeping thing running or maintaining it's history. He will sadly be missed.
