We are saddened by your loss, but also mindful that Howard is now safe in the arms of Jesus. "Home at last." That is the ultimate reward of belonging to Christ. We pray for comfort and peace of heart for you and your family.

Ann,
I am so saddened by the passing of your husband Howard. It was just a few short months ago that we were talking about having my pizza. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. God bless you. May your good times together bring you comfort during this season.

Mrs. Olmstead, I very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember as a young girl coming over to spend the night at your home. I was friends with Jody all through middle and high school. I especially remember the fatherly figure Mr. Olmstead displayed over his entire family. It was not something that I saw in any other family. It was a pleasure to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My family wishes you and your family the best this holiday season.

Ann - I've only known you and Howard for a seemingly short time, but I can testify with what the obit said. He had a huge heart, a gentle voice, a witty laugh. He carried the "joy of the Lord" with him - whether in dealing with people or with the many dogs that you and he came alongside.
He will be missed. I share your loss.
"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." That is our hope. I share your hope in Christ!
Been praying for you. Sorry we couldn't...
