For those of you who never had the opportunity to meet Bruce Robinson's sister Beverly, Bruce writes "My Sister had a web page that she maintained up until her sight failed her completely. She was a writer, poet,singer/song writer and so much more. I wish you all cold have known her. Next best thing is her website A Poet's Heart."

Howard Family Memorials
Velma Bernice (Jerden) Yates, 1911 - 2002
Velma was a member of Lakeside Baptist Church, in Dallas, Texas, Member of Eastern Star. Velma was preceded in death by her husband Hugh H. Yates. She is survived by sons Jerry W. Yates, Mesquite, Texas, Luther B. Johnson Jr. Dallas, Texas, Donald R. Johnson Garland, Texas, five grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Velma is buried in Forney, Texas -- Jerry Yates
Eva Catherine (Howard) Robertson, 1908 - 2001
Eva Robertson, or Grandma "Robby" as we called her, was a strong and independent woman. She and Grandpa "Skoot" operated "Skoot's Cafe" for years in Odem, Texas. In her 70's, she worked at an "old folks" home where it was often noted that some of the "old folks" she cared for were younger than she was! Grandma Robby was a frequent attendee of the Howard Family Reunion from its very beginning. She was the recipient of the reunion's "senior" award in 1992 and again in 1999. At 91 years of age, she attended her final reunion in a wheelchair. That's Howard dedication. -- Keith Petrus
Kenneth "Pete" Thompson, 1931 - 2001
Pete Thompson, 70, a retired electrical engineer and graduate of Texas A&M, passed away Friday, March 30, 2001. Pete was a long time supporter of the Howard Family Reunion, serving as President of the Reunion back in 1972 & 1973. Pete traveled to many different counties and courthouses over the many years to research the Howard Family Genealogy. Pete was very thorough in his research and made many significant finds. Outside the Reunion, Pete was very active in his church. On different occasions, Pete and Bernice would stop by in Houston, to visit us, on their way to Mexico to do missions work. I, as well as many others, got to know Pete through the Howard Family Reunion. We will all miss him greatly in the years to come. -- Don Howard
Weldon Ellis Howard, 1922 - 1999
On a sunny spring-like March day with a brisk breeze and blankets of wild flowers nearby, Weldon was laid to rest beside his beloved Helen, we called Yankee. Their plot in Beeville Memorial Park is just a few yards beyond the entryway with its marble statue of Christ sculpted by Gustzon Borglum, Beeville's famous artist who was the sculptor of Mt Rushmore. Weldon was loved by many, and they'd always smile when they recall his funny one-line sayings, his great outlook on like, and his genuine kindness. -- Annetta Bailey
