I have thought about and prayed for the family for days now and will continue to pray. It brought back alot of memories for me to see you all suffering because I stayed by my mother's bedside as you have Toms. May God Bless you with peace and understanding as I'm sure he is with Mat now.

So sorry for your loss. I was in the Army with Howard. He was a very fine fellow. I visited him once with another Army buddy, Ed Parker from Illinois. This was before he went to the Nursing Home. Prayers for the family in the coming days. John C. Gipson
