Louise, Bonnie, Rob, Amanda, and Family:
I have been around Herbert all of my life. Growing up in the same neighborhood gave me a wonderful role model as a child. I can see Herbert now cutting the grass in his white shirt! He was a good, clean, truly Christian man. He lived the real life of a Christian. He didn't just show up at church and forget it when he came home . . . oh, no. That would never have been his way.

Louise, It was sad but a wonderful service. I know he looked down and smiled on us today, well pleased. Herb was among the greats. It was evident he made a lot of friends.

Let me know if I can help in some way.

Sincerely,

Best to all

Herb was one of the greatest men I have known. He was a friend and Brother in Christ and through Northside Lodge. His strength in enduring his physical pain was an inspiration to me. His quiet manner, friendly smile and warm, firm hand shake will be remembered.

We always think we'll have more time. Maybe next weekend, or weekend after that. Someobody is sick, there's work, a birthday party and then time has gotten away from us. Our biggest wish is that we had made a little more time to be with grandaddy and you. Time to make some changes. We love you Grandma,

Judy and I extend our deepest sympathy to Louise and the family. Herbert was an outstanding man and he will be missed by his family and friends.

Dear Louise and family,

Herbert was one of the finest Virginia "gentleman" we've ever known! He was kind to everyone he met, he loved the Lord, and he had a pure heart! He will be missed!

You are in our hearts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathies. Uncle Herbert was a very nice man. Our prayers are with your family.
