To the Howe family-- I send heartfelt sympathy. I grew up on Susquehanna Ave(many years ago) with your beloved Nancy as my neighbor. I have wonderful memories of her humor, her laughter and her sense of enjoying life to the fullest. I saw her 3 years ago and we had our usual round of laughs. Her family is a beautiful legacy. Well done,Nancy. Rest in peace. Theresa Mazzarella Morrow
