Howie's Statement Regarding his Sister's Death
As you know, this fall Howie lost his beloved sister Caroline to the disease Lupus. He put out the following statement to his fans:
"Regarding the recent passing of my sister, Caroline Cochran, the outpouring of emotion and sympathy I have received from fans and the media has been overwhelming. Caroline was only 37 when she lost her battle with the disease called Lupus. This disease affects the immune system, often striking down young people like my sister in their prime."
"Instead of sending cards or gifts in memory of my sister, I would request that a donation be made to the fund I have established in her name. This donation would help the study of the disease so that hopefully a cure can be found and no other family will have to suffer a loss such as ours."
