Sandy and Catherine:
I had the privilege of knowing your mom when I growing up in Mobile and Dauphin Way Methodist Church and Mary B. Austin. She was a true southern lady in every way.

I took care of the swimming pool for Judge and Mrs. Howard for 20 years. In those 20 years the Judge and Mrs. Howard treated me like a "human being" instead of a hired hand.
They were both special people...

The world will be lacking without these two great people still around.

Many times Mrs. Howard would tell me stories about her Son and Daughter in Law. She also went on and on about the grandkids.

She was a "Special Lady"

We will all
miss her!
