Dear Howie,
You said repeatedly that I was your best friend,and I agree. However, I'm NOT your only friend as you sometimes said! I was touched by the number of people whose lives YOU touched, to whom you were important. They felt a genuine loss concerning you, Howard, the loss of a precious person. I feel a deep indescribable loss, the absence of you, your voice, your face. :( You are so precious to me, no one is like you.I don't have words to express how much I love you or how much I miss you. For weeks, when I was driving around Webster, I had to remind myself that I won't see you walking on the sidewalk near the Mobil, or waiting for me at the entrance to your parking lot. You are deeply missed.I cry in Wegmans,because we were there so much,and we had coffee.I miss you everywhere.Webster has so many memories of you.
You called me everyday, we called each other, sometimes 7 times in one day. Sometimes when my phone was ringing, I just KNEW it was you, and it was. You said to me, "You are the only one I call everyday" and, "You are the only one I call." My own family doesn't call me everyday. Only you, Howie. The day you didn't call, I knew something was wrong. :(
When we were lost from each other at Charlotte, you RAN to me, and picked me up and clasped me in your arms like I was the best thing in the whole world!
The kindness and compassion that flowed to people from you was remarkable.I miss you so much, Howie. Still crying everyday. Dad says a mourning period is only 30 days. That doesn't change how my heart feels.I know you received Yeshua (Jesus) into your heart as your Savior, I did too, and we will see each other in heaven someday.I love you and miss you so much.
Love,
your girlfriend, Judy
