Remembering Tommy as the fun loving guy in band and one who I could call my friend. I’m sure he always made those around him smile. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Brother Howell is my birthday twin! He is also married to my Melody. Seeing his picture with the obituaries brings tears to my eyes. I have so many good memories because he´s my brother in Christ. I´m going to miss him. The memory I will share is coming to church a few months ago and sitting next to him. Instead of sitting along the wall as usual, I saw a seat next to Brother Howell. As I walked up he stood up and smiled. He gave me a big hug. I didn´t realize it would be my last time. I´m thankful I got that hug. Brother Howell is loved and he will be missed. In a few days we will celebrate our bdays. This year is the start of his eternal celebration with the savior. God bless you dear brother!

Revelation 14:13 (KJV)
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
To the family and friends "take courage". His legacy lives on. Let's offer prayers of "Thanksgiving".
