Uncle Herman,

It seems like just the other day I received a call from my mother, your baby sister, Mayor Emma Rene Gresham, and you were on the telephone line as well. I will forever cherish those memories of laughing, sharing, and loving. You have always been so special to us. It was the unconditional love you had for my mother that endeared you to my heart. You were the best big brother! You were the best uncle! We thank God for allowing you to be in our lives for as long as...

The Rose Beyond The Wall

A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
And, as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall....
One day, a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide ~
The rose bent gently toward its warmth then passed beyond to the other side...Now, you who deeply feel its loss,be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
Its beauty even greater now,
...

Uncle Herman was our family patriarch. A man of wisdom, a man of prayer, a man anointed by God to preach the gospel. Oh, how we'll miss the talks that we had with you. The joy we had just to be in your presence. We anticipated your every visit with excitement. You kept us laughing, rejoicing, and those moments when we called needing to hear a word from the Lord you were there. From childhood all of us loved hearing you preach. We truly paid attention. Thank you Lord for the gift of his life...
