on behalf of all of the Bialys family west. Let me begin by expressing my deepest condolences to all of the Deverett Family. My deepest sympathies for your loss I can't express the indelible imprint Howie made on my life. His support of my music and writing inspired me to keep writing. Howie paid to get my first music composition professionally charted and I will never forget that. It was the music and the Deverett family support that led to some of my greatest memories with the boys, writing plays wedding songs and at the center point of all of it were Millie and Howie. You will be very missed.
