  4. Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. This is one of the most difficult things we must face in this life. May it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. But the bible assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken in heart and those crushed in spirit he saves. He also promises that we will be able to see our loved ones again. Jesus own words found at John 5:28,29 tells us there will be a resurrection. What a wonderful hope! He also says that soon on the earth there will be no more pain, suffering and especially death. Revelation 21:3-5 We anxiously await the day when we will no longer lose those we love. May these bible thoughts bring you comfort at this most difficult time.

    i got alot to say about this man, my father he was a great man, and a wonderful father to all his kids. The times we were together was great we always had fun together because i was a dadies boy. He was cool to talk to when u needed someone to talk to and if u did soething wrong or disrespectful he'll tell u about it. He protected his kids when someone tried to harm us and I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH.<3<3 R.I.P HIM

  10. Man its been almost 3 years and it still seems like yesterday we were all partying together. Even though you weren't my biological father nobody could tell us otherwise. I miss you so much ill see you soon though real son. I love you dad.! <3

  11. Wow, Howard. I am saddened to find you gone my brother. Although we were only kids the last time I saw you, I still have fond memories of our time at BYC, and our trip to Cleveland when we got out. I still remember as if it were yesterday. RIP my brother.

  12. Seven Years Wow, Still Can’t Get Over The Fact That You Aren’t Here. Everyday I Came Home Hoping You’ll Be Waiting On Me, To Tell Me This Nightmare Is Over. But When I Come Home…. There’s No You. I Feel Like A Zombie Everyday You Know, Just Carring Myself Through Life As Time Waste Nun Passing Me Up. A Piece Of Me Is Saying “Let Go” & Another Is Telling Me “Hold On Just A Little While Longer”. I Still Believe You’ll Come Back For Me.. For Us.

    Sincerely, Yiddle Bit.

Leave Your Condolence
