Dear Dolly,
I was thinking of you and Herb the other day and came to Herb's obituary. I'm so sorry to hear you are without him now. I pray you are well. I have many fond memories of Herb volunteering in the library and you and he inspired us to go on an Alaskan cruise which we did in 2019. You both were such a blessing to St. Margaret. I wish you well!

I am now 73 years old and remember my Uncle Herbie like it was yesterday. Always my favorite uncle and one of my favorite people of all time, he always made me laugh. A quick wit and great laugh, I loved him and Aunt Dolly very much. Flower girl at their beautiful wedding and frequently visitor in their home are very happy memories of my youth. Timmy and Greg are the only cousins I ever knew. My mom was like her brother- very popular and loved my all. What a blessing to have been part of their lives!!
