Dear Lucille and family. Erwin was always the kindest man and always so gracious whenever we visited. I will always remember the great times we have had at your farm over the years including all of the great horseback rides and fun with both of you and all of your children. Our mother Margaret always loved visiting the Raths and so did we. Much love Jack Nieman
