your mom has an incredible story. Now I know where you get your strength (of character). I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for you and your family . ❤️
Just learned today about Louise and Bill’s earlier deaths. My Dad was Jay Flake Howard of MooresvilleNC brother of Elbert Clyde Howard. My brother Mac Howard and I came up to Baltimore for Uncle Clyde’s funeral service back in the ’70’s and the last time we saw Louise and Alex was when they came down to visit sometime after that.
Have tried to make contact since then but not successful.
Just listened today to Louise’ testimonial video about their time at Santo Tomas.
Really enjoyed the Christmas letters Louise used to send about family updates.
I feel sure she is greatly missed by all family members.
