As a first-cousin to Howard, I have many fond memories of Howard & Boyd. Our concerns are not with Howard. He has gone to a better placed with his parents and brothers. Sorry we heard about the funeral too late to attend.

Dear Carol and Family,

I was saddened to read of Howards passing. I would like to express my love and sympathy to all. I would have been to the funeral, but ended up with a funeral in our own ward that I was involved with.

Dear Carol and family...

Saddened to hear of Howard's passing. I will always remember the stories he told and love he expressed for the time he spent with my parents "on the farm" in Kaysville. May you be comforted in this time of sorrow.

I love you Dad. Every day I spent with you was a good day. In fact, it was an honor. We'll all miss you so much. I hope you delivered that big Colby bear hug as requested. Love and take care of him for me.

Carol, I want you to know how very much our family appreciated all of the loving kindness, care, and concern you and Howard provided to my parents over many years. I have still saved the phone message Mom sent to me describing a beautiful Sunday ride you took her on. She described how much she appreciated seeing the beautiful fall colors, and then she described her legs giving out and Howard's helping her get back to a seat in the living room. You and Howard were so kind to stop by when you were out for walks in the neighborhood, and for your sharing KUED tapes, treats, love, and concern. We were blessed by all of the love you shared over so many years.



We want you to know of our love for you and your family especially during this time of Howard's passing.

Goodbye Pop, I'll miss you.
