We were so saddened to hear the passing of Mrs. Schacherl. She and Mr. Schacherl were pillars of the community. She never forgot anyone's name. Her precious smile was always so loving and welcoming. I will remember their love of dancing and leading many of those grandmarches. May you all find comfort and peace as her love lives on each of you.

The passing of Bernice is a great loss for the whole town of Flatonia and surrounding areas. Our Dad- Howard "Newt" Harris loved Jr. & Bernice and was friends with them for so many years. All my siblings also knew & loved both of them and it is a sad occasion for us to have her gone also. Just want the family to know that our sympathies and prayers are with you at this time.
