Rose I am so sorry. Howard will be missed by all of his loved ones. I being his big sister will miss him. We got into a lot of things when we were kids, and I got to see him grow into a man. I have not kept in touch as the years have passed with working and raising my children and now have grandchildren to keep an eye on. I know Howard cared for you or he would not have stayed there and made a home with you. Do not forget we are always here. We will all miss him along with you. Love Carol
