To the Gregory Family,

A strong pillow holding the structure of our church family has
gone on to get his just reward.

June was always there to check and make sure that things were in place in our everyday lives. He was kind,
caring and understand. Most importantly he loved the Lord and made those in his presence aware of the goodness of the Lord.

His presence at Mt. Zion will be missed. Your earthly work has been
completed. Take your peaceful rest.

To my family,
I can remember Howard for as long as I could understand who I was.
He loved his family and we loved him, he took the place of a father for me, and a grandfather to my son christopher. I will miss those sunday afternoons, and when ever I had a problem he had the solution,
"You can kill them with kindness girl" is what he often told me to keep my focus. We have lost a leader in our family, community, and the church.

I know my father,will be updated on...
