How you can help

Our family is heartbroken by the unexpected loss of my mother, Judy Howard. She was the best mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, sister-in-law, friend, and realtor. Judy was sweet, wise, generous, loyal, and loving, and she will be tremendously missed by many.

We would love for you to join us for her Celebration of Life at one of Judy’s favorite spots on Thursday, February 6 (see information in the "Events" section of this page). Please RSVP if you plan to attend so we have an idea of how many people to plan for.

In lieu of flowers, contributions to help cover memorial and cremation expenses (via this page in the "Give" section) or donations to the Leukemia Society (in honor of her mother, Millie Hriljac) would be greatly appreciated.

Please consider leaving condolences, memories, and stories in the "Memories" tab. Your kindness and support during this difficult time mean the world to us. Feel free to share this page with anyone who knew Judy. Contribute
