The message was simple in nature and a nice gesture from Thomas in an unimaginable time for the Heberts. This tragic reminder of how serious this pandemic is at this point in time should hopefully make people take this more seriously.
So so sad to hear about the passing away of Bobby Hebert, Sr. this morning.

Bobby spoke about his dad’s health battle yesterday.
Such a good man in life and a fixture in our part of the world.
Prayers to Ms Paula, Bobby J and the entire Hebert family.

Hebert Sr. had two sons play football professionally and had a grandson attend LSU. The outpouring of condolences for the family shows how much he meant to those in the state of Louisiana.
Our thoughts are with the entire Hebert family.
