Dear Lois and family, I am so sorry to hear of Werners death. My parents Dorothy and Reinny Rath were your neighbors on S Heights so of course that is how I know you. They always had nothing but kind words to say about the both of you. What a handsome man Werner was, I love the photo you chose for his obituary. May God give you strength as you mourn his loss. You will keep his memory alive by wonderful memories and thoughts of him each day. Sincerely, Diane and Gerry Hewett
