I remember this day well, I play it in my head.  Love you dad.

Herbie,

I think of you often.  I thought that I was the only to talk to you on here.  I miss you so much.  I cant believe its been 8 years.  Merry Christmas dad.  

Brian

It's really, really hard to believe it has been 8 years and the anniversary of your death just passed. It weighs on me heavily every day seeing what you went through. Thanks for the fatherly love and advice you offered both me and my ex-husband. I was and still am grateful for having you in my life.  Thank you Jan for always picking us all up in our time of need. You are deeply missed and loved. You will sit in my home until I can get you home to your real family. I love you and miss you so much....

Wendy

Happy birthday dad.  I miss you so much.  I wish I could call you on this fine day.  I know your in a better place, I just wish we could just talk.

missing and thinking of you dad through the holidays.  I will see you again someday.  I love you

Cheryl, even though we didn't get to know Jan the way we would have wanted, we are glad you had him in your life.  As sad and painful as this time is, hold on to the many good and happy memories that you have.  These photos on this site show what a bountiful life Jan had.  There are many people in this world who go through their entire lives not knowing love or family as you and Sarah have known.  You have been blessed.  We are as close as the phone and you are in our hearts always.  Love and blessings,  Your Dad and Mary.

May this candle light the way, give you hope, peace, and warmth.

Dear Condrey Family, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.  We have fond memories of being your neighbors for many years and watching you kids go from children to adult.  Jan held strong and fought to the end.  He loved his family so much.  Just know, he is no longer struggling or in pain, but is at peace with the Lord.  Love to you all, Muffin & Joe

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

ME AND AL WILL KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS MAY YOUR DAD REST IN PEACE TO A GREAT FRIEND

MAY YOUR DAD REST IN PIECE BRIAN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MAY GOD GIVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THE STRENGHTH TO GET THROUGH THIS NEED ANYTHING PLEASE CALL YOUR A GREAT FRIEND

I miss you so much. I will never forget all the great times we had. You always managed to keep everyone laughing and we'll never forget that great since of humor. Rest in paradise grandpa, i love you.

Herbert was a great man who always tried to help others and was always honest. I thank you Herbert for all that you did for me and for blessing me with knowing you're family and for all that you taught me . I will miss you very much

Rest in peace Mr.Condrey ....I didn't have the privilege of meeting you but I heard alot about you. As for my dearest friend Brian (Don) stay strong ....He's in a better place...

You always kept an open door for all of us kids growing up, treated us all like family. i'll never forget all your jokes & the smile you always had when we all would stop by. You'll always be in my thoughts.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

No words can be written, spoken, or thought of to describe the loss we all feel. This world is not the same without you. You are missed, loved, and in our hearts forever.  Thank you for being the practical joker, the voice of reason, and the best brother in law I could ever have wished for (even though I fought it at first). Despite all you were the best thing that could have ever happened to my sister. Thank you for loving her unconditionally and being her best friend. Thank you for being a great father to Sarah. Thank you for loving all of us and caring about us all as individuals. Thank you for always opening your door and offering shelter, comfort and love. Herbie the Love Bug you are and will always be someone to cherish.

You will always be in my heart, rest in peace grandpa. I love you!

-Ashley Maye.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Condrey.....I did not have the privilege of meeting my cousin's husband and family, but I've heard you were a good man, husband, and father.....for that, you have my respect and admiration. I know you'll be watching over your family and will take care of them from heaven in your own way, and along with God.             Anita Mercer (Rockville, MD.)
