Fly high uncle herm just because you not here with us physically doesn’t mean your not here with us spiritually everything that’s look like a lost doesn’t mean it’s a lost this is a celebration because you can rest with no worries and now you are free and can watch over all of us and protect us from what we cannot see it was such a pleasure to have known you and one day we shall me again love you uncle herm fly high
Life is such that we never feel like we have enough time with those that depart this physical world. The physical loss seems to take a piece of us with them. I'm sure that words don't ease your pain, but here's to hoping that where you can no longer physically see Herm out of your physical eyes. you can always close your eyes and see him in your heart through your spiritual eyes; and keep Herm alive in your hearts. There may he always live forever.
I send my condolences to the family of this great man. May he rest peacefully.
My deepest condolences and prayers to his family. Herm was a big ball of laughs when he stepped in a room . The coolest guy you ever want to meet.
