Grace, I don't take the Star, so I just now found out about Herb's passing. Herb has done more to help me understand my life and tasks than anyone I can think of. I will always have a mental of picture of Herb and you, rakes in hand, trying to reduce the hellishness of my life. I look at the people in the Old Testament. I look at Herb. Nobody is without flaws. God used Herb. He has saved many people. On a small scale I hope to continue some of his work. King David, as you know, caused some...

Dear Grace,
My condolences to you in the loss of your husband Herb.
I first met your husband when he came on a home visit to see my sick brother. Even tho' Christopher H, Jung had a reaction to the shot of penicillin, he survived and is now a ENT doctor in the Cape Girardeau area.
I met you when you gave a workshop on sexuality at Central Bible Church.
I went to your husband's clinic in Hickman Mills where I saw a colleague of his, Dr. Agee.
Later, my husband and...

Dear Grace and family,

Herb Ketterman was a big part of my little-girl life -- a doctor I looked FORWARD to visiting. Mom and Dad (Ruth and Maurice Vanderberg) always spoke about Herb with great respect. I will remember him with respect. God bless you -- I know the hardship of losing father and husband. God grows very near at this time. Julie

Dr. Grace and family,
Dr. Herb delivered my two sons, was physician to my whole family, was confidant, supporter and most of all, friend. I lost touch with him and was saddened to establish the contact through his passing. Family practice has lost one who personified the caring family physician of old. He will be sadly missed. My heartfelt condolences.

Dr. Grace and family; I was so sorry to learn of the death of your husband. Please send my condolences to your daughter, Dr. Kathy King, as well. Even though I did not know your husband I knew of his work. It is wonderful to know you have the assurance that he is whole again and in the presence of his Heavenly Father.

I never met Herb, but heard much about him from his wife Grace. How he was loved, and did love. It is my regret that I didn't know him personally, and I send my love and condolences to Grace, Kathy, and the rest of the family

I was very sorry to read of Dr. Herb's death. He was our doctor for many years. Both he and Dr. Grace were very helpful in getting the right treatment for my son. And in the correct treatment, he is a happy well adjusted man today.

Thank you so much for your kindness and help when it was needed.

You will be missed and my family's prayers are with the family in the loss of a husband, father, grandfather and friend.

I will never forget the day my parents took me to see you for the first time. I was 10 yrs. old. From that time on you were the only Dr. that mattered in my life. That was a long time ago. You delivered our daughter, a redhead, you took care of my entire family,parents, siblings,my children,my grandparents. We were moving around yet made Dr. appts. when we came back home just because you were you, a caring considerate Dr. in a world where money was more important than the patient. Thank you...
