Howard L. Smith

I purchased my home in Lomita from Mr. Smith. It had belonged to his brother and he was very pleased to see it go to someone who would care for it. He stopped by about once a year or so to see the progress and was always so pleased to see how nice it had turned out. Christine and I enjoyed his visits and will miss him.

I am really going to miss Howard. He was a special man in my life. I got to know Howard by taking care of him for the last year. I met Alpha and Howard at CVS pharmacy. I used to hand out their medication and would talk to them for a long time. We got to know each other over a course of a month. One day Alpha had broken her hand and needed help at home so I would come over every Friday night to help with laundry and set out their pills for the week. As the months went on I got to be with...

Hi Aunt Jane, You are in my thoughts during this time. I remember the days when Uncle Howard and yourself would visit us in Arkansas. Uncle Howard really liked my husband (Danny) and they enjoyed visiting and talking. I hope you feel the comfort of the prayers of your relatives here in Arkansas. We all love you! Dianna

Aunt Jane, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. Uncle Howard was near and dear to my heart and I will always cherish the memories.
I love you,

Aunt Jane and Uncle Howard, my prayers are with you today. I have so many fond memories of my time with the both of you. I will always be your little girl and I love you so much. I can imagine the reunion when my mother was waiting to welcome Uncle Howard to heaven and to take him to meet our Lord and Saviour whom Uncle Howard served his whole life. My dad was there to meet him too and all of our other loved ones there. What great rejoicing there was when he arrived. I can't wait until...

Aunt Jane: We celebrate the passing of our Dear Uncle Howard.. We have so many memories of the good times we shared over the last sixty years. The thougts of him walking down the streets of Glory, setting at the feet of Jesus and being reunited with all our loved ones, brings rejoicing to our hearts. We love you and wish we could be with you and your family at this time. Thanks for loving us and our children(who called you "Mamaw Jane" )

Dear Jane & Family: We were so sorry to hear of your loss, but we rejoice in this: Howard is present with the Lord and full of joy and vitality now. Our prayers are, of course, for you and your family, that the Lord will comfort you greatly in your loss. Jane, we can only try to understand what it must be like to lose your partner in marriage of over 60 years. God bless you and yours. Love, Larry and Cheryl Petrucelli
