Howard Edgar Baldwin

We moved our family to Emmett in 1990 after the oil boom crashed in Utah. We lived on Williams Road and up the road lived Howard and Opal. We loved them, all eight of us. In 1991 our oldest daughter Amanda and her husband Mike were newly weds. Shortly after they were married Mike had to have a kidney removed.

May your feelings this day be filled with gratitude from me and others that are better because of Howard and Opel. They made this...
