This is a picture taken earlier this spring of Nathan and his family. Samantha, daughters; Lauren, Alexandra, Journey; and son, Lincoln, and Nathan.

If you are out there and you feel for this man and his family they have opened a memorial fund for Samantha and their 4 children to help with expenses. I am only sharing this to let you know that there is a way to help them if you feel lead. Nathan was a youth pastor at a fairly small church. That was their only income that we know of. Now that Sam is left with 4 kids to care for and no husband, and no job to fall back against there are going to be lots of expenses.

Please feel free to come. It will be at the Alliance Church, which is pastored by Nathan’s father, Randy Junker; and will start at 6:30.
The funeral for Al Hermiston will be Friday, not sure of the time. I think that it is going to be at the Assemblies of God. If anyone wants to go to that let me know and I can get details to you. I mi
Nathan’s visitation will be Friday from 5 – 8 at the Assemblies of God Church also. His funeral will be Saturday at 10 AM at the church as well.
