My One Of A Kind Paran:
I miss you more than life itself. I promise to keep you alive in memory by participating in the No Aids Walk every year. I would give anything to have you here. But I know you are in a better place, looking down on me. You were the one I could tell anything to and never judge. You were a loving and supporting paran, brother, son and friend to many. Anyone who knew you were lucky to have you in their lives and the ones who didn't lost out. I have my good days and bad days but I will always miss you and you will always have that special place in my heart. I know you were very happy when you past and to know I was a part of that happiness helps with the pain. This Sunday 9/25/11 I will walk in memory of you and each and every year that follows. I'm the luckiest girl in the world because you were/are my paran. Sadly and always going to be missed!:(
Your Godchild/Niece <3

I knew you as Howard for so many years, then Lee. But I always knew you as a wonderful, warm and loving human being. Your friends near and far miss you, Howard Lee, and there's really no one who could ever take your place. Much love to you 'on the other side' because I know you're there, smiling down on us with those baby blues. God bless and keep you in His loving arms.
