Uncle Earl,

I just wanna let you know I think about you everyday and miss you more than you could ever imagen. You were a big part of our family and it is hard not having you around at the gatherings... it just doesn't seem right even after almost 5 months. Your spirit is with me everyday and will be until we meet again...

Uncle Earl,

I love you so much. I hope when i pass there is an after life. I say this because i hope i see you there. I miss the woderful days i had with you. I remember everyday you would come back from florida to live at grandmas i would give you a hug. I miss the days you would come over when grandma has a party and you would beat everybody at horseshoes and you would brag about it. i had many fun days with you Uncle Earl. Every day i wonder if there is a heaven. I wonder if we go to heaven or we see black for ever. There were so many great times between me and you.

Your Grandson,

Andrew Lee Howard

Uncle Earl:
I don't know how to start this, and there is so much i want to say. I wish that i was there. I was talking to Nicholas one night after you passed and was telling him of all the memories that i had with you when i was little. How many times that we heard the story of how my dad was first brought into the family, i guess you would say. And when you and Aunt Judy would come to New York for the summer and Amanda and i would tease you so much with your shoes and the pool, that one time we did actually throw your shoes in the pool, you got so mad and threw us in the pool. I think about those things and don't know wether to laugh or cry so i do both. Everyone should know what a great man you were and how much you were looked up to. and how i regret not being as close to you as i was, i distanced myself and i have no idea why. I will keep all of our memories close to my heart and think of them often. I miss you and will always miss you. But you were right OUR FAMILY WILL STICK TOGETHER AND BE STRONGER THAN EVER! miss you and love you forever

How happy we are that we had a chance to get to know you better before you went home to be with our Lord and Savior. What a comfort you were to us as we struggled to come to grips with Jerry's diagnosis of cancer. You were so quick to share and offer support. You tried to help prepare us for what was to come and you were the much needed friend that Jerry could talk to who would know exactly what he was going through. Thank you. We will miss you now, but we will see you again! This world is not our home we're just passing through. See you soon.

Uncle Earl,

Words are hard to write, expressing how much you mean to me. There is not enough space for me to possibly do that. There is not a minute that goes by that I don't think of you and I can't believe you are gone. It doesn't seem real. It was about two weeks ago you held me in your loving arms and whispered to me “that it’s okay”. But it’s not okay. I have walked into your house two times since your passing hoping that you would be there and this was all a bad dream. I am struggling to deal with the harsh reality you’re no longer with us. There is a hole that can’t be filled by anyone else other than you, your truly one of a kind. I will forever cherish the sweet memories we’ve shared since I was a little girl and there are so many more that were left to be shared. I know you are looking down on us now but I sit here wishing you were here to see me one day get married and have children. Forever embedded in my heart are the last words you said to me, they blew me away. Without a doubt your right “I am your girl”, and just as you told me I will say the same to you, “you are special to me” and I love you so much.

With all my love,
Your girl

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home...

Uncle Earl,
It was eighteen months ago your call took my breath away. I prayed the diagnosis was a mistake, it couldn't be true. As time passed with more appointments and more tests, it was evident there wasn't a mistake. Although we all had much more time with you than what what was predicted, it wasn't enough. I thought I prepared myself for the call I knew that would eventually come that the treatments were no longer working, I couldn't have been more wrong. It was like being kicked in the stomach all over again. As we all watched your health rapidly decline, I kept reflecting on what you told me, "It is what it is." Almost two days have passed since you left and I struggle to deal with it I say to you, "It is what it is, but it's not what I wanted."

Love Ya,
Mark
