In Loving Memory
Fredrick Dean Howard
October 10, 1957 – May 12, 2017
What do I do with this tremendous sense of loss? Last week, I learned through a Facebook message from a “non-friend” that Fred, a good friend and former significant other, was killed in a terrible motorcycle accident on May 12th not far from my home. The local paper reported the accident but did not name the rider and no follow-up story was done. The “non-friend” sent me the message on May 18th but it didn’t show up in my Facebook Messenger folder until June 8th. I am grateful to her for trying to contact me and we have since spoken.
