Ruthie, Bobby, and Ebi. I am so sorry about Lambert. I remember your mom telling the story of how when Lambert was a little kid he somehow got into your mom’s car and, working the pedals with his hands, drove the car down into the ravine in back of your house.May God be with you all at this difficult time.
I am sorry that you lost your brother. He was a good friend of mine. We played together in the neighborhood as children. He will be sadly missed by all.
My sincere and humble condolences to the family and friends of “Bert”. I had him as a student. He was always polite and friendly. Denny Albaugh
Sorry for your loss.
