7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV
A message from Howie:
Good morning friends and family. It is with a heavy heart that I share this with everyone. My Dad went to be with Jesus last night so peacefully at 6:30 pm as I was asking him to listen to my sermon and give me his thoughts. Our family was by his side as he left this world and entered Heaven. The Lord blessed us with such a mighty man of God wonderful son great husband and amazing father, grandfather, brother and friend. His last words to me were these. “ Be at peace right in the middle of it!” You will be missed Daddy,save me a seat! I love you Buddy always will.
We covet your prayers. Love and Blessings. Howie
