Pat, Scott and Mark...
Our hearts are heavy after hearing of the passing of a good, loyal friend. Mere words seem so inadequate at a time like this. We pray God's comfort, strength, love and grace will surround each of you during the coming days. May Howard's fond memories sustain you and may time help to heal the huge hole you are feeling in your hearts. We just ask God's blessings upon this family.
In Christian love,
