I am really sad to hear about this. Herbert V. Eskelin was my father’s uncle (my great uncle).The woman who was my wife from 1993-2001 had frequent conversations and correspondence with Lilly.
I remember her as being a very sweet woman. She was always nice to me. Last time we spoke, they were living in Ocala.
Marsha Hobbins
Thank you so much for reaching out to our family. We will miss my Mom very much. We loved and miss Herb so much also, a very special man.
