Virginia, some of my happiest memories are of times spent with you and Rob, and other members of the Howrigan family during visits to Vermont. As stewards of the land, community supporters, loving
family, and Rob's joyous Irish personality, you made those times very
special. Loss hurts -- I know. Be strong. It will ease.

God Bless the Howrigan Family,
Mr. Howrigan was a great man, father, farmer and maple man. My grandfather Dean Blake was also a great friend of the Howrigan family on all aspects of farming in Vermont.
The contributions the Howrigan's have given to the state of Vermont and the many generations that will cherrish them all.
Always remember the good times and God's strength will help you through this rock in the road that we all must get over but it will take time to heel.

Aunt Virginia and the entire Family,
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. It was with sadness that I learned of Uncle Robert's passing.
Knowing that he lived a very full life and ejoyed the company of such a fine family is comforting.
Uncle Robert was as they say, "one of a kind"! Who can forget all the family reunions when he would grab a bat and step to the plate! Showing the youngsters how it was done.
His great laugh will...
