So sorry for your loss, Howard was a good friend and neighbor for over 20 years. He is greatly missed on Neptune Circle, and I will always remember him and Gerte. I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it to his service, because I am out of town. God Bless!

Dear children and grandchildren of Howard Moena,
My late husband, Jim Fetridge, was in the room next to Gertie at CHCC for about a year before her death. During that time, I was able to observe Howard…this gentle, kind man who always had a kind word for the nurses and was patient, always respecting their workloads and responsibilities. His love for Gertie was inspirational.
I was deeply saddened to read of his death. Please accept my deepest condolences.
Sincerely,
Susan O’Malley
