My husband and I thought of Hoot, Howard as our father. He walked me down the isle. We moved out of the area to pursue our degrees, but he understood and was very supportive of this. They both wanted to meet a baby from David and I so bad. I know that when the time is right he will be there in spirit. He will ALWAYS be in our hearts. Rest in Peace, we our here for Mom and she will be with us until she joins you again one glorious day.
