I was fortunate enough to know Mr and Mrs Howard years ago when I worked for them. And to call them my friend. They were both very nice, thoughtful, and just great people. I am very sorry to hear of Mrs Howards passing. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and neighbors. She was a great lady.

Our sympathy for your loss. Both Alma and Eddie were such thoughtful friends and neighbors. Alma gave Cooper and Connor their first stuffed animals, two little dogs, when they were babies and they still sleep with them. We always enjoyed spending time with Alma. She will be missed.

We were very much saddened to hear of Ms. Howard's passing. We moved into the neighborhood in 2014 right across the street from the Howard's and very much appreciated their warm and cordial welcome to the neighborhood. She was wonderful lady and will be missed by all.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. Alma was a delightful person who always had a smile on her face and twinkle in her eyes. We feel fortunate to have known her, and she and Eddie were kind enough to treat us as part of their extended family on many holiday occasions. We will miss her.
