I knew Joe Herd since I was a kid through my attendance at Chapman's Quarries UMC. Joe and Rusty came to my wedding in 1980. They gave my parents a place to stay when their house was burnt down.

Although I had support from family and friends with whom I regularly...

Dear Herd family:
We loved your Dad!
While our folks were at MHS from 2014-2019, we shared many meals, visits, books and laughs with your Dad. We enjoyed talking about books - especially the Ambrose book on the railroad. We brainstormed about “the trip” he took a few years back and admired the fact that you made it possible for him to experience such great memories. But above all of the wonderful interactions we had, your Dad was always a beacon of demonstrating a deep love of...
