Herb, you and Sylva extended hospitality to us in your home several times, and we always enjoyed your company. I knew Sylva from the days when she worked for FNEB and I was still in banking, and she was always a great help.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as your mourn. God's blessings be with you.
