My heart is greiving with the family but rejoicing knowing Uncle Hubert has received Ultimate Healing. Memories I will forever cherish. Uncle Hubert would always walk up to you with his fist and gently place it on the bridge of your nose and say, "What have you been up to?" He was a great listener and I always enjoyed talking with him. I am praying for Aunt Marjorie and the family continually in the coming days. Press on, it want be very long!

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Huber. I always enjoyed being with you and Huber, Margie. Mother (Velma) always had a special attachment to Huber, Wyleen, and Era - I think she pretty much considered them to be hers. I miss them all. Osbern and I want the family to know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Hubert's passing. He was a great man to me. Always made time for me when I visited Grandmother and Granddaddy's church. I know your hearts are hurting with his loss, but I also know you will see him again. Sonja Sammons Elmore
