Dear Ones,
I share in the sorrow of this temporary absence of my brother in Christ, and yet, I rejoice for the blessing of his being in the immediate presence of our Lord.
Some day soon, we shall be in fellowship with him, in the very presence of our Saviour Jesus Christ. What a grand and wonderful time we shall have, and for eternity.
I am most thankful to the Father, that I am blessed to know Brother Weber both sides of Heaven, and rejoice in the legacy he gave to those whom he knew and loved.
\o/ and love,
Fredericka "Freddie" Pfaff

I'm told the Reverend Weber baptised me when I was too little to remember. I do remember his kindness and smile at family gatherings years later. Through my friendship with Herbert's nephews, I have come to know that family, and to know that they will find love and support in one another.

My Dear E., Marie, Dennis, Jenna and Abby,
My heart grieves for you, as my own heart is broken at losing such a good friend. Pastor Weber's gentle manner, and unwavering dedication and service to the Lord inspired me to join the Moravian Church, and his counsel kept me from leaving. He married Don and me, and helped Don recognize his call to the ministry. Pastor Weber supported and encouraged us while Don was in seminary and never stopped after Don's death. I am sure Don had the band's, and all of the saints that have gone before, lined up to welcome Herbert into the kingdom of Heaven. We will all miss him.

Dear E, Our hearts are with you, who have never failed to light up our lives, at this time of joyful mourning over a life beautifully lived.

Herbert was a very important part of our lives, having officiated at our wedding in 1987. It wasn't until after Herbert left the pastorate at LCOTL that we had the privilege of knowing him and E. Artis on a deeper and more intimate level. Phil believes that Herbert really came into his own spiritually during his "retirement," and he has many fond memories of the Lay Witness missions he shared with the Webers. Our heartfelt condolences to the family.

Dear "Lady E"...We have sooo many wonderful memories of Herbert. He was our first pastor at Little Church on the Lane. Herbert
had a sweet spirt and heart for the Lord. Each of our 3 children and their spouses were married by him and he was their pastor in their most formative years of Christian development. Our hearts go out to you and your families and especially to Marie, as their daughter-father relationship was so filled with love and devotion. May He who is able comfort you all at this time and give you His peace, knowing he is safe at home in our Father's arms until he sees each of you again!
with Jesus' perfect love, Haines & Dot

Reverend Weber married Brad and I at Little Church on the Lane in 1989. He and E. Artis were good friends of my parents who are both deceased.They participated in Moramus Choir together and came to most of my Father's birthday celebrations. He was a good friend of the family, a fantastic pastor, a true gentleman, and genuine man of God. My family and I will miss him greatly. Our heartlfelt sympathy go out to E.Artis and the Nodine Family in there loss.

From the first time I met Rev. Weber when I was a college student visiting Little Church on the Lane in Charlotte, I knew that he was a special man. He had a gift for preaching and living The Word. I always knew I could count on a warm handshake and a smile whenever he would serve as the guest or interim preacher at my own church. The Moravian Church has lost a tireless and giving servant, but Heaven is rejoicing over its faithful son attaining his eternal reward.
