Thomas, Daniel, Timothy and David, and Tom & Marlene, and Jacqueline & Hal - I was very sad today, at the Howe Family Reunion, to learn of Skippy's passing. She was certainly missed by us. I've posted a photo from the 2011 Family reunion, Skip's on the left hand side by Tom & Marlene. Michael Howe.

Tom, Dan, Tim, Dave and families: I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We have many good memories of her from the time we lived next door to all of you from 1961-1966. I was also lucky enough to work with her at Treasure Island Supermarket. She had a wonderful smile and was so fun to be around. I'm so glad my husband, Mel (who also worked with us at Treasure Island Supermarket) and I were able to stop and visit with her three years ago when we were back to WI. My thoughts and sympathies to all of you. She will be missed.
