Herb, David, Julie & Robbie - You all know how I feel about you Herb and your Mary. You've all been a part of my life for over 30 years. Mary was such a remarkable woman and I will treasure the times we shared, especially when I lost my own mom 15 years ago, Mary & Herb were there for me. You all mean so very much to me and have my heartfelt sympathy. Tom & I have such great memories of all the times we've shared, especially most recently in Disney with David, Cheryl & family.

Our love & sympathy on such a great loss to all of you and many others. Cherish all your memories, as they are forever. I wish I could be there for all of you during this difficult time.

Dear Herb,

We were so sorry to hear of your loss, and always regretted that Mary-Lou and I did not get to know Mary and the rest of your family better. We were always so far away. We saw them all at Julie's wedding and then when you brought all the men down to Jacksonville for the Super Bowl.

I know that you and the children, grandchildren and other friends and relatives will miss her, but we also know that her memory will always be a bright and shining one for all of you and for us too.

Dear Herb and family, God blessed me with very special women in my life. Two of them were my Mother and my Godmother. Both of them were women to be honored, cherished and loved and they were by many. Both touched so many in their lives who are better people because of them. Not a day will go by that I will not remember them.

Our hearts and prayers are with all of you.

Mary was so gentle, kind but didn't pull any punches. She always reminded me that no matter what I would be okay. She said "Just keep doing the next right thing and it will all work out."

A beautiful woman with a very kind heart. I will always have her with me.

My prayers include well wishes for Mary and all her loved ones. May they know how blessed they were to have her. She will never really leave us as she gave us so much!

Fondly,
Sally L. Inman
