Yesterday afternoon my husband's uncle Howard passed away. He was 85 years old and had some health problems as well as dementia. Over the past year, our family was blessed to get to know Howard and his wife, Connie. Our children loved to visit them because they usually got a treat and because Howard was so funny. We will all remember "The Mean Bean", Howard kissing my hand after I said I thought I was a good homemaker, the kids giving Howard five and him pretending that it hurt, Howard asking the girls if they had a boyfriend and saying that their dad should be their boyfriend because they are too young for a real boyfriend, Howard singing Yankee Doodle and other songs and mangling the lyrics because he couldn't remember them, and many other great memories. We will sure miss Uncle Howard!
