The pain of losing someone you love can be overwhelming especially when it's someone as important as your mother. I cannot imagine that pain. May your family draw comfort as I have from knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon all those in the 'memorial tombs' will hear the voice of his son Jesus and 'come out' by means of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29) What a wonderful day that will be!

My heartfelt sympathies to the Herbstreith family, especially my dear childhood friend jane. I'll always have beautiful memories of a close knit warm neighborhood of which Mrs Herbstreith was very much a part of. Anyone always knew her family was of the utmost importance to her. Hold your memories; her smile and the sound of her laugh close to your heart and she will never leave you.
