Mae belle I am so sorry to hear about Herman. You both were so cute around one another and I hoped that I would be lucky enough to meet someone just like him. He was always joking with you and making you and I both laugh. I miss those times. Love Jo ann
Oh Maebelle, you have been on my thoughts. I love you. You and Herman have been such a blessing in my life. Thank you for your love and years of devotion to our family. I have been blessed having another set of grandparents with you both. I know the good Lord is holding you in His hand during this time.
One special man: one special Uncle.

Aunt Maybelle,
I will be there for you and the Yarbrough Family. You know that I loved Uncle Herman with all my heart. He will be truly missed in my heart. I love you very much and I am grieving with you. See you soon
My family lived across the street from Herman and MaeBelle for over 50 years and we also attended church together for many years. Our families got together on Saturday and Sunday nights for dominoes and homemade ice cream. He and MaeBelle are part of our family. We love them dearly. God bless you, Herman. You were certainly a blessing to us through the years. We love you.
Mrs. MaeBelle... We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Herman's passing. We have you and your family in our prayers.
