To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Pauline and Family.As I sit here thinking of something to say its pretty hard cos everyone says the same thing. I want this to come from the heart. We have been friends for over 30 years.All of us have been thru some good times and bad times.Well I want to remember Howard for all the good times we had with him and you.
I wish Mike and I could be there with you today while you are going thru all of this. But I am very sorry we can not.Howard will always be in our hearts and prayers and the same goes for you Pauline and the girls and grand baby.
I remember that last time we seen Howard when Mike and I were home. He didn't even know me.He walked right by me that was funny. He knew his buddy Mike but not me.Mike will miss him when we come back to Buffalo cos he always wanted to go and see his friend.
Just remember one thing Pauline you and Howard had 2 beautiful children together and one grand-daughter so he will always be with you thru them.Just remember the good times you had all the years you were together.I know these past few years with his sickness was hell but he is at peace now and that he is better off.I will always remember him and the love he gave to his family and friends.
Pauline if you ever need to talk please feel free to call me anytime I will be here for you. Sorry we can not be there today when you need a friend but you will be with family and friends all day today.
Howard will always be in your heart,thoughts and prayers just like he will be in ours.
