<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I wish I could have met this man. To be so cared for and loved by so many is something we all hope for and few have. I hope Herman knew how many truly cared about his friendship
and what it meant to them to call him "friend".
