I have such sweet memories spent with the two of you in the early to mid eighties when you lived on the Withlacoochee River next to my grandparents, Ross and Virginia Howe. Your strong Christian values were an influence in my life. Time, distance, and now death may separate us in this temporal world but not forever. Praise God as you are now doing much better than us -- until we see you again someday in Heaven!
