Denise and Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. Howard was a wonderful man. He always would stop and talk when ever I saw him around town. He took time to ask how I was doing when I was in for Maebelle’s funeral. You both are in my thoughts and prayers
Uncle Howard was a good man and Uncle. As a child I always look forward to visiting they always remembered us with gifts. It was a expression of love they had for us and it will always be remembered.
