Herb and Barb were my neighbors for 27 years. Herb was great at giving advice and help on how to fix many household problems as well as gardening tips. He often got my temperamental lawn mower to start when I couldn't. My condolences to his family; may he rest in peace.

Dear friends and family of Herbert Knapp,
My sincere condolence to you all. This is a troubling and difficult time, but there is someone that you can throw your anxieties on. At 1 Peter 5:6,7 God wants us to pray to him and let him know our distress because he cares for us.
