Josie may God and your friends give you the strength to proceed on as i know Herb would want you to do and remember all the good times you both have had and will remember.
I worked with Herb at the heat and air co.and he adjusted my learning from his experience and i appreciated that.
We had alot of fun together as he was funny, caring, and very helpful.
I havent been around in years but i always will remember our friendship and the good times we had.
My Brother in-law Knew Herb when he was in the landenberg area as he grew up in kennett square.(Mattson)
Take care Josie and family sorry for your loss.
Sincerely
Don Smith
