"I offer my sincere condolences to the husband of Florence Howe. The work she did made a difference in the world especially for women. May God give you comfort as you mourn her loss. Philippians 4:7"

"Truly an amazing and inspirational woman, she will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to the Howe family, may God be with all of you as you endure this most difficult time of your loss."

"Forence was a treasure and a door opener to the world of neglected women writers. I met her in 1981 when she was an advisor to our project on creating a series of television dramas based on short stories about growing old. Her input was invaluable and she introduced us to Tillie Olsen. It was "The Convert" by Elizabeth Robins, republished by The Feminist Press, that led me to years of researching Robins and writing a play about her. Florence took the trouble to come to a reading of it and offer me advice. She was a consummate nurturer."

"She was strong, brave, tenacious. Thank you for your contribution to women studies. Thoughts and prayers to the family and close friends."

"Sincere condolences to the family for your loss. May the God of tender mercies comfort and strengthen you."
