My heart goes out to Howard´s family during their time of loss. My mother, Jean Merritt, brought Howard into our lives years ago when they started dating. What a blessing he has been. I loved him with all my heart. My late sister Debbie Stillwell loved him like a father and if she was here she would be shouting it. Hopefully they have met up in Heaven by now. I want to thank Howard for being a part of our family and loving each and everyone of us with all his heart. He will be missed.
