Jackson Stonewall Howell Jr.

DEAREST JASON, ALYSSA,LINDA AND FAMILY,JACK AND I WORKED TOGETHER FOR ALMOST HALF A CENTURY. WE SHARED KNOWLEDGE, CARING, SADNESS AND HAPPINESS; AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE SHARED RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS. WE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER. WE LAUGHED TOGETHER AND WE CRIED TOGETHER. WE EXPERIENCED REAL LIFE TOGETHER, AND SOMETIMES WE SHARED EACH OTHER'S PAIN WHICH SOMETIMES WE WONDERED HOW WE WOULD SURVIVE..BUT WE DID. A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE JACK PASSED ON, WE HAD A LONG TALK ON THE PHONE. HE TOLD ME HOW SICK HE WAS AND SHARED HIS CONCERNS AND I LISTENED, THINKING THAT HOPEFULLY, HE WOULD BE BETTER SOON AND BCK AT THE YMCA WHERE WE OFTEN WORKED OUT IN THE SAME AREA. IN FACT, MY TRAINER, SYLKE TOLD ME THAT JACK HAD FINALLY GONE TO HER AND SAID HE WANTED TO START WORKING WITH HIM.BUT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THEN I GOT A PNONE MESSAGE FROM BERT THAT JACK HAD PASSED ON. LINDA WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GO IN THE COTTAGE AND TELL MY SECRETARY THAT JACK HAD DIED. I FELT A DEEP SENSE OF LOSS. IT WAS JUST TOO SOON. I AM SO SORRY THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SHARE MANY MORE YEARS OF HAPPINESS AND SAD, FOR THEY GO TOGETHER. I PRAY THAT JACK IS RESTING PEACEFULLY WITH HIS PRECIOUS KATRINA AND HIS MOTHER HE LOVED SO MUCH AND I HOPE THAT HIS MEMORY WILL CONTINUE TO BE A BLESSING TO ALL WHO LOVED HIM SO DEARLY.MY LOVE GOES TO EACH OF YOU, ROSALYN

We remember Jack fondly, he and my husband Boots Carroll were best friends. Sympathy to the Howell family.

Jason and Alyssa, I'm thinking of you now more than ever. Jason, I have missed your sister every day since she left us. I believe your sister has welcomed your father with open arms. Please reach out to us "old friends" who will be there for you. I am so sorry for the loss of your father...he was an incredible, interesting, and warm-hearted individual! He will be remembered very fondly by anyone who knew him.

To all of Jackie's family members: We are touched and saddened by your loss. We will always remember Jackie with fondness. Carolyn Howell Haselden and family. Hemingway, SC
