I am so sorry about Hobert, my heart goes out to all of you. He was such a sweet man and was a quite man, but I remember there were times he would open up and joke around with me. I have fond memories. I pray that God gives you peace and comfort. I have been through the loss of so many loved ones, cry as much as you want and take time for the griefing process.
Love You,
Linda Armstrong Cooley
