Sincere condoleances on the passing of Herbert to sally and family
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying. Sincere Sympathy Sally Karen and Gerard. Herbert was a true gentleman in every sense of the word I am proud to have sailed with him.
Sincere sympathy to Sally and all extended family on Herbie death may he rest in peace
May Herbie Rest In Peace.
May Herbert Rest in peace
Van den burg and Gibbons families on the sad passing of herbert may he rest in peace
May his gentle soul rest in peace.Amen
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
Our sincere condolences to Sally Gerard Karen and family .May Herbert Rest In Peace.
