    I've just called today to say Hi and discovered the phone disconnected and I new....our friend had gone home. Herschel was a great man!! I have so many great memories like when we (Johnie, Herschel and I) would go to see a play and then had coffee talk. He truly enjoyed the plays in Brookhaven. Jeff and Herschel were soulmates at heart. They really enjoyed each others company talking about hunting, fishing and the beautiful land God created. You will be missed my friend but never forgotten. We love you and know we will see you again. Liz and Jeff Armstrong
