My deepest sympathy to the family of Gary Howe. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I remember being friends with Julie and spending time at her house and Gary was always so kind and very funny. My deepest sympathies to all of you.
Gary was half-brother to my father Graydon Gregory Howe, Jr. I didn’t know Gary well as we always lived miles away but he was always in my heart and prayers as a connection to my family. Blessings to all of you as you send him on his way home.
Lisa, Julie and Amy My heart goes out to you…Your parents were such caring loving friends of mine. I have so many wonderful memories of your family… You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time in your lives…always remember I love you so much Norma
