Mr.Duewer and your family and the Henke Family.

I understand the heart felt sorrow your families are enduring at this time. Please accept my sympathy as I offer my condolence to you.

I grew up in rural Farmersville and knew the Henke family very well. If I am not mistaken, Bertha's father was constable in Farmersville for several years. I went to school with Ervin and the other sibilings. I remember Bertha, although I am 5 years younger.

God will comfort you during this time.

Mr. Duewer, Steve, Anik and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The Waldrop family
