Doe Howard

‘Committed lifelong to the work of Moral Rearmament, with her husband, the newspaperman Peter Howard, she corresponded with an extraordinary cross-section of people across the world, after his untimely death 42 years ago.

‘Her letters, brief and to the point, were full of humour, unexpected shafts of insight and a puncturing of pomposity. Her sensitive understanding of what was really going on in the other person showed itself in simple, steadfast care that healed hurts and included all in her wide sympathy. She will be much missed.’
