My dear uncle. Short in stature, big in heart.
Herdes would bake cookies and mail them to me in Louisiana when I was a young child back in the 1950s. Mail took a little longer back then and they would be pretty stale by the time they arrived. I didn't care. It so touched my heart that he would send them that I ate every one of them.

Preceded in death by a sister Mrs. Lucile Cutler. Services were conducted by Rev.
