After this hard time and after all the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold on to are the wonderful memories and times that we have spent with our loved one. Though death is a natural and expected part of life, it nonetheless is painful for our remaining time here. We are thankful for a loving older Brother who provided a way for us to be together again. Please know that you are not alone in your grief for we grieve with you. Losing a loved one is so very hard. Your father lived a good life and he is now in the loving arms of your sister and brothers who have gone. The key to what keeps him alive is what we carry in our hearts and minds as they continue to live on in our memories. Always remember this: each day that passes is another day closer to reuniting with him! Please know that Jeff and I have you in our prayers and pray for your comfort at this time. Much love…

Dearest Aunt Helga and cousin Kim , Our prayers and our LOVE go out to you , and our heart-hurting too at this hard time. It is such a hard thing to say goodbye to a sweet devoted Loved One!! We send our hugs and our caring to you all. We are Herburgs too….. I loved my Uncle Wil and his wonderful qualities–his good kind heart, and his bravery to get on that ocean ship to come here as a child from Germany, and his wonderful serving the prophet David O McKay on his mission. He was a dedicated devoted faithful husband and father in countless ways. We love him and miss him! We feel grateful for his wonderful reunion with Loved Ones he is experiencing now on the other side.
Love to each one of you from his niece Denise Richey Poulter, and David Poulter
