Tributes
"So sorry to learn that one of Dad's (Lawrence A. "Unk" Wellman) last cousins is gone. Dad always spoke with such fondness of all the Wolfs. And I remember how much I looked forward to visits to Uncle Albert's and Aunt Katie's farm when Grandma Dietrich was still living. It's heartbreaking to lose all of these good, God-fearing people. Please know that all of Herb's family is in my thoughts and prayers as you lay him to rest."
