My thoughts are with your whole family. I sure Herb will be sorely missed. He was a good man and great mentor to me early in my career at St. Louis county. He was very kind and helpful to me in all the years since.

I wish I could come with Larry and the ladies but other family responsibilities will keep me at home. I always enjoyed Uncle Herb's smiles and laughs and we so appreciated him and you Seda coming all the way to VA for Wendy's wedding. Your entire family will be in my prayers this week and in the days ahead.

Mrs. Baldwin, Janet, Max, & Tiffany,
We are sorry for your loss. These will not be easy days ahead, but with the love of family and friends perhaps life will be a bit more bareable. Again, we are sorry for your loss and will be praying for strength in the days ahead. God bless you.
