Hello Audry;
I was so sorry to hear about Howard, I think of you often and how Howard hired me and made such a difference in my life. I am sorry I didn’t get to see you, but I have been sick since just before the new year and I sure wouldn’t want to give this to anyone else.
Please know I am thinking about you at this time and also Eric and Donna.

We are so sorry for your loss. Howard was so amiable, charming and what a sense of humour!
We shall miss him a great deal.
I have a set of 6, and a set of 3 placemats, each with matching centre mats, which Howard had just finished weaving. I will hold them for you at the studio until I hear from you.
Our thoughts are with you.
