I work with Howard but my thoughts and prayers go out to all the family. Howard, if our Dad's lived until we were 110 years old, we'd still feel like we lost them too soon. I am so sorry for your loss and know that God will lead you to the place where happy memories are a comfort to you and your family. Be kind to yourself as you go through the healing process;often we don't allow ourselves the same patience that we would freely give to another, and healing takes time. God bless you all.

My heart is aching for your loss. Ronnie was my brother-in-law for 53 years. He was always there for who ever needed him. Most of all he loved and cared for his family. He will be missed by all who knew him. He courageously battled his health issues. It was time for him to be received in the arms of Jesus. May his family receive comfort in the memories of all the good times. We love you.
