We all gathered 12/24/12 once again to celebrate a Higginbotham Christmas Eve 2012. This tradition lives on because of you and Mom and how much it meant to have all your family together to celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We did all the traditional things including Bingo! Missed you, Mom, Mark, Higgs, and little Gracian.

To my entire Higginbotham Family. My deepest condolences for the loss of Uncle Herb, I always enjoyed listening to the stories told by my Mom(Margaret) about her younger brother(Herb) and sister(Gertie), and all their interesting antics growing up in Cleveland. Your Dad was truly a mans man and an example for everyone to follow in love for God, Family and pursuit of lifes dreams. This world lost a great man, he will be missed. Love, thoughts and prayers to all of you, your California cousin, Garen and Allison Roehl.
