I am the sister of Janie Boyett Burger, Howard's late wife. We came to know and love "Sandy" during Janie's lengthy illness and death seven years ago. We stayed in touch via e-mail. She was always so good to ask about our Mother who died on November 20th. Sandy was a sweet, beautiful, wonderful lady. My brother and I and our families received a blessing by being allowed to know her and James. Our prayers are with you, we can surely emphathize with you during this holiday season. It makes it even harder when you loose someone. God Bless You, Wayne Boyett, Charles and Doris Boyett Hart, Bainbridge, GA

Dawn and Anthony:
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Dawn, I remember your Mother from when you were in my third grade class at THE. She brought refreshments to your class to thank them for their help after you all had lost your home to fire.
Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you.
Sincerely,
Nellena Smith
