Mr. Kerth was a very good man and father. Rest in peace

September 8, 2012

To Barb, Dan, Cathy and Sue please accept my condolences on the passing of your father. He was a good man. To lose both your parents in such a short period of time is devastating. You are in my prayers and may God comfort you in your loss.
