Howie was a great man with a lot of love for his family and for life. He will be dearly missed. May you find comfort from the love and prayers from all who knew him!



Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free

I’m following the path God has laid you see.

I took His hand when, I heard his call

I turned my back and left it all.



I could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work or play

Tasks left undone must stay that way

I found the peace at the close of day.



If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joys-

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Oh yes, these things I too will miss



Be not burdened with time of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrows.

My life’s been full I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.



Perhaps my time seemed all too brief-

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up you hearts, and peace to thee-

God wanted me now; He set me free



God Bless you all

Julie
