Dear Erin and Family,
I am a Hertzog cousin living in Daytona Beach, FL and have not had contact with Forrest for a long time. With sadness I read his obituary online today. Forrest, Clarence Rauch and Donald Bauman and myself were the cousins about the same age who spent many Sunday afternoons visiting with Mammy Hertzog in Topton. I hope you are well and that the support of your family and friends help you at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
