My sincere condolences on your loss. From everything I knew about him, Doodlebug was a special person - even his nickname brings a fond smile!
I believe he is out there, free of pain, in the light and beloved.
Love and sympathy to you all,
His cousin, Gaye Forbes
I will always cherish the good memories of Herb and the kindness he showed for wanting a good picture of my Dad Kenneth Wilson placed in the fellowship hall of Lower Shell Creek Christian Church. Herb made everyone that entered the building feel so welcomed. He will always be remembered as a great friend to our family. Praying that God grants his family the comfort that only He can give.
