Psalm 34:18:
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in Spirit.
You are all in our hearts and know that God will give you peace. Love you and praying for you
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy, and I know he will be missed.

I grew to like and respect Hubert very much during my ministry at the North Lawrence Christian Church. He was a man of faith and is now with the Lord. I will pray for you all during this trying time.
Sorry for your loss, condolences to the family
Sorry for your loss.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee. Hemingway
Rest in peace Uncle Hubert
Our sincere sympathies to Connie and Milly and all of Hubert’s family.
You are in our prayers.
Connie
Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
