My thoughts and prayers are with at this time, so very sorry for your loss.
Jane, I am so very sorry. I haven’t seen you or Howard since I quit working at 7-11. You know how very much I loved him. He was my “big brother” since I was about 16. Sometimes we would go years without contact but when we did meet up it was just the same as ever. And if he ever heard I was in trouble, he was right there for me. My heart is broken. Please know that from the first time he brought me to your home until the last time I talked to him, he always loved his Momma!
Robb and I just want to let you know we are so sorry to here about Howard’s passing. He use to stop by the house when we were sitting on the porch and we would chat for hours. I have missed seeing him in the store but was always glad to know he was ok. RIP my friend
I was sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. Please take comfort from the Bible’s promise of a resurrection at John 5:28 & 29. The Bible gives us the wonderful prospect of seeing our loved ones again on a paradise earth. At Psalms 37:9-11, 29 it gives us the hope of living forever on a paradise earth with our loved ones. On this paradise earth Rev. 21:4 promises us that “death will be no more.” I know this may not relieve your deep grief at this time, but please take faith in God’s promises.
