David & I were so sorry to hear about the passing of Hubert. What a wonderful person. He will be missed. I will always remember stopping by his flower shop to get flowers on the way home from the beach. He brought a lot of smiles to peoples faces through his flowers. He said how much they meant to him. Our condolences go out to the family.

Aunt Lillie: I’m so sorry to hear about Uncle Hubert. I was thinking about you both last week and hoping I could visit on a trip that I had planned for this weekend. I’m sad that I put off a visit for too long. I’m thinking about you and I will see you tomorrow.
