So sorry to hear the news. I have so many fond memories of Mrs. Howard from Girl Scouts and Holy Rosary days as well as from when my brothers were in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. She was a good friend to my late mother Loretta as well. A very kind and caring person. My condolences to the Howard Family and especially my school years friend Mary.
