Howie,

I was sadden to hear of mom's passing. She was like a second mother to all of her scouts and skaters. I enjoyed all of the times that we had coffee together and the visits with her. I cannot put everything here. She will be missed by those who knew and loved her. Take care my friend.

How sadden I was to read of the death of your mother. What a good friend she was of mine and I enjoyed working with her at Paper Magic. We had a lot of good times and laughs. Was always nice to get together with Jean and you and what nice visits we had. Know you will have a lot of good memories of her. Her suffering is over and now she can rest in peace. Will keep you in my prayers. God bless.

Howie,
I will miss not seeing your mom when I go to Wal*Mart. It never failed - seems like everytime I was in the store, so was she.
I will miss her beautiful face, that was so much like my mom's.
I bet the two of them are shopping now. My mom will be on one side of the glass motioning Jeanie to come in because she needs her. And your mom on the other side waving back.
Your mom will be missed.
