Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
My sincere condolences to the family. I remember Dr. Webb as a kind, considerate, lovely man who truly cared about his patients. God bless you all.
Lynda, our deepest sympathies to you at Doc's passing. I know you know how very deeply he loved you, but you should also know he never hesitated to tell others how much he loved you. I cannot recall one single email I got from him over the years after you all left Flora that he didn't mention you and how special you were and how blessed he was to have you as his wife. His last email to me on July 31st he said, "I would be nothing without her precious soul", and "she is absolutely the best thing that ever happened to me." I pray that your memories will give you peace and comfort. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Praying for the family. I am sure Carla is a little bit happier with him by her side. Like Carla, his smile will live on.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
