Not sure what to say?

Dr Howser was the best Neuro-doctor I’ve ever met and I have severe neurological issues. There is nothing he would not do to help me to get better. He’s a very genuine person; very cordial,exceptional bed side manners integrity and last but not least he was an excellent surgeon. Dr Howser’s wife who was sometimes in office would do anything possible to help the patients. She’s worked me in many times when I was in extreme pain and had no appointment. The staff was some of the nicest caring...

Dear Josie,

John was a caring and generous man. I will never forget how he helped me as a young neurosurgeon when I first started my practice in Memphis. My deepest condolences to Josie and the boys.
God Speed, John!

Josie and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My God be with you and comfort your during the days ahead. I remember John, first, from Memphis State and was fortunate enough to have known him again when he and John were in medical school together.
Hold the memories close and be comforted by them.
Lovingly,

John was not only a devoted husband to my cousin, Josie, he was also a dear friend and physician to my Mother and Father for many years. He is with them now in a better place.

Sincere sympathy to the Howser Family.
My earliest and fondest memories are of John and I growing up together in the old Watagua and Midland neighborhood; training school days; trips to John's grandparent's farm and his beloved dog, Missy. In about 4th grade we pricked our fingers to draw blood and become "blood brothers."
John lived his life as a true Christian gentleman.
Sincerely,

My thoughts and prayers are with Josie and all the family. John was considered by my husband, Mo, to have been one of his best friends and to have had a great influence on his life. John was a dedicated and conscientious Christian, doctor and friend. May all the good memories bring you comfort and peace.

Our deepest condolences to Josie and family. We had the pleasure of
knowing John during the eight years we spent in Memphis. He was a
wonderful doctor, husband, father and friend. Our thoughts and prayers
are with you. Joan and Paul Sykes - Orange Beach, Alabama.

John was a dear friend, a valued partner, a golf and music buddy, and a good man that will be missed by many. He was one of a small group of physicians that trusted my partners and me to run a hospital for them, and he supported me throughout the times, good and bad, that ensued for all of us. Although I've moved away and not seen John and Josie for a few years, they were never very far from my thoughts and prayers. I'll miss John, and I hope Josie and the boys and Ted will endure their loss...
