I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father and grandfather who was a wonderful and dear person. I will miss him greatly and I feel very fortunate to have known him. I have many fond memories. I will never forget Howard patiently teaching me to play 'Music Box Dancer' on the piano at Alice's house one winter. I enjoyed visiting with and sharing many laughs. I can still hear his laugh and see his smile. I am relieved knowing that he is not suffering anymore and is rejoicing in heaven. May you be comforted with your many memories of Howard!

Love and God’s Peace,

Jill Buth
