Anna Warren wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Mildred Stafford Howes, As one of Mildred's ( Mom) caregivers for the past 15 months I got to spend a lot of time with her. I learned so much about her, her family and her past friends. She was the most loving person. Her sense of humor went well with mine. We enjoyed many good nights together. I will miss those good nights when I was greeted with "Anna's here. U can go home now Kathie" and the times when she would grab my hand and say "I love you". RIP Mom. Hugs”
