I really miss Sister Howard. From the first time I met her a year ago she touched my heart. To hear her stories about her family just made me feel like there was hope. I always felt good after speaking to her. It will be hard. I'll miss her hugs most of all. She would hug me everytime we met. I know she is in a better place, but I'll miss her.
