HOWIE'S FINALLY HAS A HEADSTONE. THANK YOU TO ALL THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE
!
This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Howard Leighton Alfred Bandoo who was born in United Kingdom on November 12, 1968, and passed away on October 21, 2008 around 8:00 p.m. in Pasco County Florida. He was 39 years old.
Howard and his new bride of 3 days, were on their way to their honeymoon, traveling south on Highway 41, which resolved in a fatal Head-On collision with another vehicle headed north. His wife was driving! Our beloved Howard was killed instantly Magali sustained severe injuries to her lower extremities and was airlifted to St Joesph's hospital in Tampa FL.
It has been 4 years since my brother Howie was taken from us and still no Headstone has been purchased for his final resting place in the Brooksville cemetery in Florida. The family has not given up its quest to purchase Howie's headstone and hope to have it mounted by 2014 God's willing. As for Magali she was found at fault for the accident and has since collected a substancial insurance settelment. Her actions spoke Louder than her words as she turned turned her back on her deceased husband's family that stood by her in her time of need an in the planning of our beloved Howie's Home going Service. No one has seen or heard from her again. Which leaves us with the question Why? But God's plan Supercedes all including her agenda so we are at peace In our loss knowing that Howie is safe in the arms of JESUS! away from all harm.
Magali my god have mercy on your soul for your actions toward your late husband.
We give God glory for the great transformation that took place in Howard's life before his death. He became a man on a mission and over the last 4 months worked with joy and excitement to win souls for God. He felt that he would die soon, and always said "It's ok, I'm ready to go be with the lord". Howard was changed from the inside out! He faithfully went to bible study, worship service, men's fellowship, and read his Bible and prayed everyday. He single handedly planned his wedding in 6 weeks while seeking God and praying every step of the way. He had a vision, a mission and a goal and there was no stopping him. Anyone that knew Howard, knew he was changed. He will be missed and will live forever be in our memories and hearts.
Please light a candle for Howard or express a memory or two about Howie on the memories and or the condolence page link.

Howie; I do not want the world to see or hear our conversation because the enemy of our souls is still lurking in the dark but I can say I love you always in pain and in joy and every Tuesday morning and Tuesday evening about 7:30 pm; it is so special to me I can feel a gentle breeze whispring in my ear "Mom ,Love you, see you later mom" just the way you always said it to me.Son I'm trying so very hard to finish this race strong for those that will come behind me. Also trying to keep your dreams alive in accomplishing a memorial scholarship in your's and your brother David's name for young men who want to turn their lives around to the glory and honor of the saving grace of our Lord Jesus. I did not forget our conversations and your dreams.
My joy is full to know that you finished your course and ran a very hard race to the end. Though you were in a manglked crash You spilled no blood nor did you have any broken bones is a real sigh of the transportation and escort of angels you had to your heavenly home. Jesus paid it all . Our last telephone conversation was "Mom what is taking you so long"? My reply I will soon be there. The same holds true for this very moment.
I am trying my best to get things done for Jesus sake and our testimony that "Nothing is impossible with God and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". My son I love you ; hug and kiss David, Grand-ma, Auntie, Aunty Alice, Corey. say hello to your dad and the other saints that came to greet you. I love you and I am being strong and happy to be on this side to continue this walk of faith and grace through Christ. I am so happy I am saved and covered by God's grace.
I have a ministry in the mirror now, even take an offering when I can. smile! I encourage myself to keep going on in Jesus in the joy of the Lord and the love we shared with our sweet David your son. I am interceeding for him every day until the walls come down between us. I will love him no matter what, he is an extension of you in my heart but I must give him his space to grieve and to learn that I love him unconditionally. AS of this 15th day of Sept.2012 , I shall be counting the days to hold him in my arms again and see you in his eyes. This I will never have with your brother David . I just kiss and talk to his pictures.
Howie, you must know by now that I would have done anything to prevent you from falling into the deceptive hands of satan but disobedience has a premium. a high cost. I only remember the good we shared in Christ; the sweet victories we had in forgiveness and love. Enjoy heaven my son. It is your reward from your Holy Father God, the three in one. Amen!!

I find joy in the good memories that I had with my son and on the bad days I think of his love for me and my love for him and know that not even death can seperate that. To all the family I really think your son, husband or brother was a nice person, and everyone that knew him is saddened and feel a great loss. My prayers are with you all.
