Nancy and Christi,
I'll tell you something you already know: Babe was a very nice, talented man, who was loved and adored by all who knew him. I can only imagine how wonderful it was having Mimi and Babe as parents.You should also appreciate how special it was for Nan, Sally, Matthew, Christopher, and Michael to have a similar experience. I hope these fond memories help to at least partially close the hole in your hearts.
Love,
Billy

Thanks to all of you for allowing me to share such great moments with Babe. Watching the Saints win the Super Bowl with him was unforgettable! He was such a great guy. I will forever keep in my heart his classic comment to me on Christmas Eve. So Babe! Love you all. Nan's Sidekick

Herbie was an absolute ray of sunshine to all who knew him. We will miss his presence at our meetings at Creole Chapter #43 NAWCC and miss him visiting our home. We will think fondly of him each time a water lily opens a lovely bloom.

Prayers to his family.
