My beloved sister, Audrey Ann Christian Howard July 18, 1961 - September 28, 2012

My sister, Audrey and I did not always get along when we were growing up, like most siblings, but she was very protective of me, our sister Helen and brother Matt.  I used to get bullied in school a lot, mainly because I was so small and quiet.  I remember once when I was in 4th grade and we were waiting at the bus stop to go to school.  This big guy, much bigger than Audrey, kept saying mean things to me, and pulling my hair.  Audrey told him to leave me alone, but he wouldn't.  She got right up in his face with the meanest look she could muster and told him again, "leave her alone!"  He wasn't fazed at all.  He pulled my hair again and she punched him square in the face and flattened him!!!  My hero!!!  You know, that guy never bothered me again.

When our father passed away, my sister held it together for me, I was completely shattered.  She let me cry on her shoulder many times and helped me get through the pain.  It was the same when our mother, then our grandmother passed.  She kept telling me that they were in a better place and that they were waiting for us.  It's funny, I'd forgotten that until now.  I said the same thing to Matt on Friday.

Audrey, I will miss you so much.  You are a big part of who I am.  Thank you for being there for me whenever I needed a big sister.  I know you are no longer suffering.  I know you are with Mom, Dad, and Grandma.  Give them a big hug for me.  Tell them I'll be there one of these day.  Only God knows when.
I love you, Sis.

Please help my friend...

Hello all,
This is really important to me.  My friend doesn't have much time to fund this trip and it is really crucial to him.  Not only is it important to the industry, but it will help him connect with others in the industry so that he can find another job, hopefully, before his job is over.  He is a really nice guy with a sweet wife and 3 wonderful little boys.  His family has been through a lot in the last few years and this would really be an encouragement to him and his wife to get this money.  It's more than just the money, it's about hope and courage.  I hate begging, but please, if you can give anything it would be great!  You are a bunch of fabulous people that I have connected to all over the world and I love you all.  Even if you can't give, pass this on.  Someone will be able to help him.

Thanks for all that you do for me and for others.  Know that God stands ready to bless each of you, you only have to accept it.

God Bless all of you.
Thank you.

Go here to help.  Thank you.
