Pastor Mehrl officiated our wedding in 2004. He was helpful with our premarital counseling and performed a beautiful service at our wedding sharing the gospel with our guests. Pastor Mehrl had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be sorely missed. We are grateful to have known him and look forward to seeing Klaus later when we join him for all eternity to be with our heavenly Father.
