Not sure what to say?

To Fr. Howell's family - condolences on your loss. My family (parents Ferris and Lucy Miller; children Jerry, Bonnie, Karen and Judy) had been parishioners for many years at St. Marks Episcopal Church. He was a kind man with a warm smile.

I'm so sorry to hear about Fr. Joe's death. I'm holding Chuck and all of his family in my heart. I enjoyed going over to Chuck's house back in our school days and being greeted by Fr. Joe's wonderful laugh and good spirit. I know from people I knew at St. Mark's that he was a fantastic priest, too. My condolences to all.

Dear Jeanne: I will be forever grateful for the caring support I received from The Compassionate Friends when I was in deep distress at the sudden death of my son. Thank you Fr. Howell. God rest your soul.

The Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church New Brighton in Staten Island extend our deepest sympathy to Father Chuck, wife Liz, daughter Georgia, and all his family.

Jean and family.....we send our sympathy and love. You both were so kind when we came to St. Mark's.
Much love .....
The Rev. and Mrs. Ladd K. Harris

I'm saddened to hear about Father Howell. He was a wonderful man and I have great memories of him as Rector of St. Mark's where I grew up. Much love to his family at this time.

Fr. Joseph was a very fine priest and friend. He will be greatly missed. Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the household of the Master.
