Condolence: Mardell,
It was a pleasure to see you and Herschel at the Wesley anniversary last summer. Sadly, I now offer you condolences. As I look back at your ministry together in Russellville, the thing that I remember most is your gracious hospitality. The two of you were then and continued to be a shining example of showing the gift of Christian hospitality and encouragement.

May God comfort you during this time,
Janna Scheible

Condolence: Mardell and family,
David and I are thinking and praying for all of you. We have such wonderful memories of the McClurkin's involvement with the Bell family over the last 60+ years. David, Kenny and Barbara tell some great stories of Shoal Creek Camp and the youth group at FUMC. I remember how much fun everyone had at the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Those memories of Hershel will always bring a smile to our faces. I know, even in this time of loss, the many more memories you have will do the same.

Condolence: I have to smile when I think of Herschel MCClurkin and how he had to put up with so much of us from the First Methodist youth in the early 60's. He had the patience of Job and we all loved him so much. We thought we were so cleaver trying to make sure he was going to marry Mardell. One time I especially remember going somewhere on a bus and we giggled because they sat together. I feel so blessed to have had both of you in our young lives to show us what love and respect ment. Thank you.

Condolence: Mardell, I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad I had the privilege of knowing both of you. You both have contributed so much to this world, and it is a better place for your having been here. I just lost my precious Frank to cancer February 15, and after being married for almost 53 years, it is a hard adjustment. I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

Condolence: Rev Herschel emulated the apostle Paul (2 Timothy 4:7)
He fought the good fight. He finished the race. He kept the faith

Condolence: Mardell and family, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time and in the days and months ahead. Herschel was a man that could brighten anyone's day and make a person feel right at home in his presence. His work for all the people whose lives he touched in each community and church where he served is a continuing ripple with positive effects that will reach countless others, for Herschel left a small bit of himself with each of us. We are so thankful that God blessed us by making Herschel and Mardell a part of our lives. What great memories we share!

Condolence: Herschel was such and kind and happy person. I don't ever remember him without a smile. He seemed to enjoy being around everyone and everyone wanted to be around him. RIP good and faithful servant. I will miss him.
