The last several years of getting to know “Papaw Howard” have been a blessing and a joy. Being from his native Mississippi, he would entertain us with many great stories of years ago and people he knew. Lots of friends and family that he knew in Mississippi were folks we also knew. He was always welcoming and loving to us, and we love him and all the family dearly. We thank the Lord daily for the time we were able to know him and “Mamaw Ellen”. Memories we will cherish the rest of our lives! Christy and Brent. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
