Gwen: So sorry I don’t read the obits regularly and could have come to the wake if we had known. Hurston was a good man and have missed seeing you two. We wish you peace and love during this sad time.

My prayers are with Gwen and family. I worked with Hurston at the chemical plant when I was in pharmacy school. He was a good man. Praying the family finds comfort in God’s loving arms.
