Anna Lee Ponder Howey

Sincere sympathy on the loss of your mom. Campmeeting will not be the same. Our love and prayers,

When I think of Mrs. Howie, I think of gentleness, kindness, and love. I always felt safe in her presence when I was a child. She made me feel confident when I was a mother of a special needs child (Marshall)
She raised a wonderful family...I remember Sarah and Sylvia as fantastic people. I didn't know Frank, but I am sure he is a tribute to his mother's memory, as are the girls.
The world has indeed lost a remarkable woman with her passing, but God has gained an angel beyond...

Frank, We're deeply sadden to learn of your wonderful mother's death. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Frank
We just want to let you know we are thinking about you and your family during this difficult time. We will keep you in our prayers.

Frank and Family-- I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will have you and your family in my prayers.

To Sarah, Sylvia, Frank,Jr. and families, Bill joins me in sending our condolences to each of you. It was my privilege to work with you and your parents in the Union County 4-H Program and share the joy with you in your outstanding accomplishments and awards.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Frank,(and girls) I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. She and I had grown to be real friends over the years, confided in each other, and just visited. I loved to see her come in Farm Bureau, because I could take a break, and "talk" with her. She was a special person. Just try to think about the good times, and remember she is in a better place, and not suffering. That's what has helped me through with Leo's passing. Shirley

Anna and I taught Special Education for years together in Union with Isobelle Mims. I know she was always an advocate for her students. One memory I have is when I complained to Isobelle that we had to write IEP objectives but never recorded whether or not they had been accomplished (of course, now we do). Isobellle told me Anna would go down to the courthouse and laboriously update all of her IEPs after school was closed because she too felt the kids' progress needed to be noted. I'm sorry...
