I feel sad that it's now my turn to send thoughts and prayers to YOU, Howie. I remember your mother well. She was such a sweet woman, and always had a ready smile. It was really obvious how much she loved you and was proud of you. You and I really did have wonderful, kind parents, and weren't we so lucky to have them. You resemble both of your parents, but I see a lot of you in your mother's face. I hope you will accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear mother....it's pretty tough when we lose our Mom. I do hope the fact that she is now with your father, will bring you comfort. I will remember you in my thoughts and prayers, and hugs to you and your family.
Most sincerely, Tricia Hendrick
