Mrs. Erna Reinsel was a true friend to my family and I. She helped coordinate funeral luncheon arrangements at the last minute for a Member of St. Paul’s church who had a huge funeral with most of Famous Barr attending. She was there over and over for other
Receptions our family had at St. Paul. During a great time of adjustment she treated me to
a homemade meal and hours of her listening ear refusing to let me help with dishes.
She sent the kindest of words and darling gifts when our daughter arrived. She always had a smile and the comfort of Jesus to share. My deepest Christian Sympathy and much love to Frank and Denise Reinsel and the rest of her family. In Christ alone, Faith Richter & daughter, Rose

Erna was a very special friend to me when I was in Kansas City and it was I of my first teaching experiences. She made me feel like 1 of her family and I will always remember her gracious and loving kindness. God´s blessings to her special family.
