Dear Aunt Edna and cousins -
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have many good memories of Uncle Herb - going back many years for sure. A good heart strong and true. Grand tales of the adventures you all had over the years. Good humor in most all aspects of what life put before him. Strength and support for all whenever needed. Words of encouragement for all activities. Down to earth insights. These and more he displayed daily. I'm sure his family and other relations and friends who've gone before him have welcomed him with open arms looking forward to good tales and reports. Take heart that he is at peace and we'll all meet up with him again. Enjoy and share tales amongst yourselves and with others and he'll be right in the room. Take care all. Love Steve
