I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO GET UP AND GET GOING. YOU WERE MY LIFE FOR SO LONG, I DON'T...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MOMMA! MISS YOU SO MUCH. THE HOUSE IS QUIET WITHOUT YOU. I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE AND I SWEAR I HEAR YOU AT TIMES. YOUR SWISS,SWISS NOISE YOU MADE WHEN YOU WALKED. I LOVE YOU MOMMA SO VERY MUCH. THE PAIN IN MY HEART GETS REALLY BAD AT TIMES. ARE YOU ALL SITTING AROUND THE TABLE ENJOYING EACH OTHERS COMPANY? I WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING TO HAVE YOU ALL AT THIS TABLE HERE LIKE OLD TIMES. YOU GIVE EVERYONE MY LOVE AND TELL THEM I MISS THEM AND LOVE THEM SO VERY MUCH. ...

momma it's been 4 months since I have heard your voice or felt your arms giving me a hug. It's been a long four months, I see you and hear you all the time. In the middle of the night is worse. Momma, I love and miss you so much. At times it like I can't breathe or even move. I bring you flowers every other saturday and a cup of coffee, last week I brought one for dad. Momma, I remember when your momma left, I saw your pain but I never understood it till now. The pain goes deep and...

All three are smiling down on you right now Dad because they know how hard it is for you to open your heart and speak from it. They have pulled the seat out for you at the head of the Barber Clan table. I am honored to sit at that table with you.

Well Mom I gues it is time to tell you goodby. It is real hard but it has to be done. You can tell daddy and my son Mike that I also say goodby to them. I loved you more than I ever said, but a lot of things go without saying. So it is really not goodby but so long until I join you all again. Love to you. Herb Jr.
