Sandy:
I am so sorry to hear of Herb's passing. He was such a joy to know. He was just wonderful to my daughter Kelly (as you were also)! I remember how nice he was to both my grandsons, Andrew and David. Always had gifts for them and spoke to them like his own.
Sandy, please take care of yourself, especially during this sad time. I hope that Kelly and I can travel to see you at some point, we do miss you.
Take care.

Sandy - I was saddened to hear the news of Herb's passing. As you well know, both you and Herb became a very special part of my days living in San Francisco and will always remain part of my journey West. Herb's generosity, kindness towards others, the way his face lit up when he smiled, along with his silly napkin jokes he loved to show me...will forever be remembered. Though 3,000 miles away, I hope you can feel the hugs and warm wishes I am sending you. With love, Kelly
