You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Although I wasn’t there in Kenosha physically, I was so glad that I was able to attend Herb’s service via the livestream. As cousins growing up together I have a lot of fond memories of our families all spending holidays and special times both happy and sad together.
Hugs and much love to you all.
