Dear Margaret and Family:

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I grew up with and went to high school with Hubert and have many wonderful memories of fun times together. My Dad was his mother's first cousin and they were quite close as friends. We will be thinking of you in these days of loss. May God be with you and comfort you.
