Howard Lee Jackson

My favorite memory of Howard was his determination and meticulous and quick planning.
Howard and Sharon had supported the Devilettes of Bowdon High School all the way to the final four held in Macon, Georgia in 1993.
Unfortunately a three point loss gave the team an early trip home, except what was supposed to be the last meal in Macon delayed the team into what became known as the Blizzard of 93.
The storm hit quickly. The bus driver decided the trip could not be attempted.
Evidently Howard wanted to get home. He loaded his truck with fertilizer, and slipped and "slood" back home safely.
He was going to get fertilizer anyway so he calculated the positives.

Sharon,
Bruce and I are holding you close in our hearts. We are so deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Howard. There are no words big enough for a moment like this, but we want you to know we are standing with you, praying for you, and carrying you in love.

Howard was a good man-steady, kind, and devoted. The way you cared for him, the way you walked every step of this hard road beside him, was a testimony of love and strength. We honor both of you today.

May God surround you with comfort that meets you breath by breath.
May He give you rest when the weight feels too heavy.
May He hold you in the quiet moments when the house feels too still.

We love you, Sharon, and we are here for you.

With all our hearts,
Kathy and Bruce
