I recieved an e-mail from a future bride (Candice) today that her fiance passed away on August 9, 2009. His name is Robert Hebert and he was in remission for Cancer. He was 26, a native of New Orleans, and a US Navy Veteran.
When I met Robert and Candice in November of 2008 Robert had just started going back to work at GE installing Wind Turbines after his cancer treatment. I remember being swept up in the story of the fight against cancer and how they were not going to let that get in the way of thier plans.
During our converstations I found out that Robert went to Higgins High School (a Rival of John Ehret High School ... My alumni), we graduated the same year and grew up just a short distance from each other. Candice and Robert decided to take thier Engagment Pictures in New Orleans, the city he grew up in and grew to love.... here are a few photos.


My thoughts and prayers are with Candice and Robert's Families. RIP Robert Hebert.
