Happy heavenly Anniversary today Herbert!

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the Smalls and Wright family.   Herb was an easy going and always friendly person to talk to.  I will greatly miss him.

There are so many memories I can share, but my favorites were always on the front of 1333.  Grill going music playing. Pop Di and Kermit (The Rat Pack as I would call them)on the porch with their party favors, Ms Minnie whipping up her famous Bar B Que sauce & fussing Herbert out in my “Minnie” voice.  Just dancing and laughing. Now you get to see  your girl Diane again Pop because she is buried here in Ft. Lincoln. Although everything about you was Small… You always did it Big! You will truly be missed. Love you Pop ❤️

Please accept my sympathies on the passing of your father. I have been thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Losing a parent is never easy, but know that your father’s legacy is enduring through you. The way you parent and live your life are visible signs, and I know he was proud of the daughter he raised. I wish you peace and comfort during this time.

In this time of sorrow wishing you comfort and peace to face the days ahead and the loving memories you hold dear to your heart. 

Deepest condolences to the family

Love, Travis (Nephew)

We all know that we are on borrowed time, but when God calls our loved ones back it...we want to hold on to the physical body because we don't want to say goodbye. I think about your sayings, smiles, and your GRIT to always prove the doctors wrong. Then I remember your pain, illness, and sickness. It is your time to rest and tell everyone that I said hello.

Loving You Dad

Rest Easy Herb I”m so glad me and monk had a chance to see you when you was in nc. Sending my condolences to the family.  Moochie from Selma, nc
