Condolences to the Family

Julie, so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I was going to stop in to see her soon. There are many memories of you, playing in the neighborhood, and walking to school. Three of those years, we had to take a bus. I will keep you and David, and family in my prayers. Our parents worked long hard hours, back when we were growing up. Remember your mom coming out front to talk to us, whenever she was home. If you ever need someone to talk to, please contact me on facebook. I have always remembered you, even named one of my girls after you. Susan Herrold Rubright

To the Family of Dawn M Herr
Julie and David, we knew your family for a long time and around the early 1960s we moved from an apt to a house in the same neighorhood. After that time we became neighbors and our children attended the same school you attended. In 2007 after 47 yrs we moved to the west side of Lancaster.
We were sorry to hear of Dawn’s passing and she will be at peace of any suffering.
Our Sympathy & Prayers, Jennie & Jim Herrold & Family
