So very sad to hear of my grandfathers passing. I have a lot of love and respect for him. Wish I could have spent more time with him and the rest of my family. Wish I could have gotten a phone call.
Dave, so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and JuLea. Ginny
So very, very saddened to hear of Uncle Howard’s passing. The world has lost a wonderful person, one of which there will never be another. The time I spent as a child with Uncle Howard and Aunt Lyndell, were some of my happiest. They were two of the most down-to-earth, kind hearted people I’ve ever known. I truly consider myself honored and blessed to have been their niece. I wish my son could have known them. I loved and admired them so. Uncle Howard will be missed, but please know that he will NEVER be forgotten.Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend a service, but please know that I am there in spirit. My love to you each.
Sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you.

I was heart broken to see this in the paper. I have such happy memories of Uncle Howard. My heart goes out to you all. I live in Charlotte and can’t make it in for the funeral. I love you all and prayer for you. Uncle Howard and Aunt Lyndell will be together again now; just as it should be.
