Mike, Teny and family, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Herman. There are so many wonderful memories of Herman and also of his always friendly ways. The video brought many of them back of the family, so many of them now gone. God bless you and keep you in his care at this most difficult of times. With much love, Gail Haley
