Howard #4

Happy Birthday in heaven Son. "(To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord)". I miss you and Dave so deeply; I hurt.
Howie, as you know you were born on a chilly Tuesday, 7:30 in the evening. You exited this world on a Tuesday 7:30 in the evening, how
cool is that?. You are just always so stylish, so smart, so loving and kind.
I wish I could have spared you all the pain you endured but you were so brave even as a slave to sin. I never stopped loving you, you know that.
Moving right along I continue to sing my song "A better day is coming".
So I am holding on to the mighty hand of God to lead and guide me in
the path of righteousness for His name sake. Praise the Lord forever more.

Happy 4th birthday in heaven my baby boy.
I miss you so very much but I am happoy for your peace
and eternal rest. No more temptations, depression and poor
choises.  I love your son David and continually pray for him to
draw close to the Lord that he too will experience the power of
redemption through repentance and  forgiveness. I love you eternally.
Give Dave a hug for me, with God nothing is impossible. Memories, Mom. 

Howie it  is 7:26 am On Monday, Sept. 17, 2012. My fiancee has been on my mind all night, a lil more different than usual. I can only guess why. Since you died, the boys have been in and out of jail, on probaion, far from God. One is n jail right now, the other has a warrant and he just got out. I remember when you were here how you would take on th father role, take them off some place, return, they would be so much more grateful for life, appreciative, less rebellious. Know what, I still to this day do not know were it was nor what you guys did on those moments. Priceless. Howard know bein has measured up to you. I know the Howard coming nto God, not the Howard I  have been told was something else on wheels,( the stories you told me~LOL) I miss you. Our talks, walks, laughs. Sometimes I see someone that look so much like you. I am getting the feeling it is you looking out for me, our boys, lil famly. I just got that feeling when I spoke of your look  alikes. I can see you saying it was me.

Howie I stopped living. Thanks for the question am I living, am I existing. I know it came from you now. You always cared for/about me. Miss you. (Bonnie n Cldye)
