Mary, Beth and Judy,
I am so sorry to hear of Mr Hemmert's passing. He was a great Lymington neighbor! A memory I have of him is when he was checking the fluid levels in the Mustang so we could get to school and telling Mrs Hemmert that those things had to be checked in which she replied that she only thought she had to put gas in it and go. So glad we had his expertise that day. I hope your memories help you to get through the difficult days and you cherish them forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With Deepest Sympathy,
