Marc Herbert of Greenville, SC and his family stopped by Philadelphia Recently for Cheesesteaks. They got them from Dallesandro’s which has been voted by Philadelphians as having the Best Cheesesteaks in Philly for a number of years!

Marc and his family visited many places while vacationing before getting to Philadelphia including Corning, New York, Freeport, Maine, Boston, Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut.  When they left Philly they traveled down to Chesapeake Bay, MD and on to Virginia Beach, VA before returning home.  They said they had a wonderful relaxing fun time while exploring interesting places–what an adventure! 

Marc is a son of Bettye & Leroy Herbert of Piedmont, SC and the Greenville, SC Chapter Family Reunion Circle.  It was such a pleasure to have them at our home and we’re glad their cousin Christopher Herbert, Sr. was able to enjoy their company also.   Here are a few photos above that we took while they were here.

RULES FOR RAISING DELINQUENT CHILDREN

1. Beginning with infancy, give them everything they want.  Then they will grow up believing the world owes them a living.

2. When they pick up bad words, laugh. This will make them think they are cute!

3. Never give them any religious training. Wait until they’re 21 and let them decide for themselves.

4. Avoid the use of the word “wrong.” It might develop a guilt complex.  Later when they are arrested for shoplifting, they will know society is against them.

5.  Pick up everything they leave lying around, toys, books, shoes and clothes. That way they will become experienced in throwing responsibility on others.

6. Have plenty of fights in front of them. Then, after your divorce, they won’t be surprised.

7. Give them all the spending money they want.  Why should they earn their own and have it as tough as you did? 

8. Take their sides against neighbors, playmates and teachers. They are all prejudiced against your child.

9.  Satisfy all of their cravings for food, drink and pleasure.  Childhood should be fun. Denial may lead to frustration.

10. Prepare for a life of grief that you will probably have.  —Houston Police Dept.

MESSAGE FROM DORIS LAKE WALKER REGARDING HER NEPHEW, JED WILLIAMS

Aug 27

Posted by Mary Herbert in 2016 WLH Newsletter, Norristown, PA Chapter, Our Family History, PRAYER REQUESTS FOR FAMILY | No Comments

+++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++

“My nephew Jed Williams has relocated to this area after living in Florida for several years.  While in Florida he was being treated for congestive heart failure and was given a heart pump as a temporary treatment until he receives a heart transplant.  He has transferred treatment to University of Penn Hospital and is looking to have the transplant in 2017.  As part of his post transplant treatment he will have to take anti-rejection medications.  The surgery requires that he have two years of payment for the drugs, which will be a total of $5,000.00, $2,500.00 per year.  These medications are not covered by Medicaid.  At some point in the coming months we will be setting up a Go Fund Me sight on Facebook to help with his expenses.  Meanwhile we ask that the family keep Jed in your thoughts and prayers.”
