In Our Thoughts
Bernice and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Kermit’s passing. We have been neighbors for so long and Kermit was always so helpful whenever we needed anything at all. He was a kind, caring neighbor who was always willing to help. He will truly be missed. We pray God will grant each and every one of Kermit’s family comfort and peace during your time of loss and in the days that follow.
