June and family, I am praying for each of you. May God comfort you, give you peace and strength as you miss Herb's being here on Planet Earth. I am so thankful that your dear Rene made us in-laws and family. You and Herb have blessed our lives in more ways than I can express. We know where Herb is and I'm sure he had a great reunion with Rene, Jonathan, and others who have gone on before him. His departure has left a big hole in all of our lives! I know the pain you are feeling and the only thing I know to do is take it to the Great Physician in prayer.

A wonderful man. a gentleman in every sense of the word, and a God loving man, has gone home. I miss his warm wit and smile, but know he is where he longed to go; he is home and no longer in pain. Prayers always for June and those left behind.
