May God bless and keep all of you during this time of mourning.
May His Holy Spirit comfort and give you peace in knowing that Uncle Howard is looking down at us and smiling!
There are many great memories of him for all of us and that is what we want to hold on to and cherish!
Lets all realize our lives are short and while we are here on this earth, we need to not allow anything to separate us from the joy of each other!
