Marie, was not just my mother in law, but a second mom. At the beginning of my life I called her Auntie Marie.until my early twenties. That is when I married her son Robert Sr. (Bob) Howard my late husband. I was still addressing her as Auntie. She said I did not have to call her Auntie anymore. So, I asked to call her mom instead of Marie. She said that would be fine with her and she enjoyed the idea. She will be dearly missed, especially around birthday time. The reason being our birthday dates were so close that we celebrated them together as one big party. Love you Mom Doreen Howard your daughter in law.
