Not sure what to say?

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of both your parents, Dolores & Sam. I remember them well and even visited your home. I remember meeting you and playing with you in your fantastic playroom! My dear friend Russell Williams studied with Mr. Howard and thought of them like parents! My prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time. God Bless you and your family! Anita Conley Gendler

Dear Hilary, I took piano from your mom for eight years, in high school and in college. Your mom was so poised and gracious. I would meet your dad with his flamboyant ways after my lesson. May Jesus comfort you and hold you in His arms.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Sam and Delores. I used to greet both of them at Publix every Wednesday. Sam was very delightful person. I will miss seeing him. May they RIP.

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Howard's passing. Will be much in prayer for the entire family. He and his wife Delores generously donated a Steinway piano and shared their musical talent with Fairfield First Baptist Church where I was also privileged to be a pianist.

Dear Hillary,

You and I have never met, but I knew both your parents in college. In fact, like your dad, I came from Fairfield. I am so sorry to hear of the deaths of both of them--before we have time to realize she is gone, we learn that he is. I am praying for you and your family. I've been where you are before. I know it's hard, so I'm praying harder for you.

To Hilary,
We are saddened by the news of Sam's death, as well as thad of your Mom's. May Jesus hold you in his arms and help you through this difficult time. Your parents were wonderful people and teachers. Loved by so many. Let us know if we can do anything for you. Love, Debbie and Stevan.
