Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me besides quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord Jesus forever

A psalm of David
The Bible

Our dearest Hero... our sweet Howard in Heaven,

There are no words that haven't been said through the years...You are missed and loved constantly by your family and friends!!!

Time truly has no meaning when the heart is involved... so our hearts seek daily for a glimpse of your love...which is transcending the veil that separates Heaven and Earth. We are so grateful for that special gift :)

Please know you are missed as much as one can possibly miss you in this lifetime...

Thankfully, I believe we can look forward to the day that we all are together again in the perfect love of Christ... the day where for eternity we will all know only beauty and peace and all the amazing things to great to imagine here !!!

Until then...We Love you with all our hearts xoxoxo

Our forever love,

As we start our 18th year, I try (each year) to equate the time since you were called home and our heart-time of missing and loving you...

I have found that there is no way to truly connect our loss with what we know about time here.

But I do know, you are loved and missed continuously by us and so many who you touched...

So that said, the one truth that brings me complete comfort is... I believe we will all be together again in the perfect love of Jesus!!!

Until that day, my forever love, xoxoxo

Thank you Howard, for your selfless sacrifice in serving our community and may God keep safe all those whom are out there doing the same selfless duties each day, but if any are called home...

May our Mighty Mighty Mighty God, comfort their families and friends as He continues to comfort us each day...this is our daily prayer, in Jesus, name!!!

Happy Father's Day my love,
Thank you for all you gave as the father of our beautiful kiddos!!!

I know God created father's to be leaders in their home. We could not have asked for a better God given leader for our family than you my love...

Your true love shined through on the good days and the challenging days. What a wonderful example of a man with integrity, strength, perseverance, humbleness and true heart!!!

How blessed are we to have such wonderful memories tied to your fatherhood!!!

I know God our Father, calls each of us to learn to look to Him, for ALL things... including wisdom, discernment, and good judgement. So that, we too can live with a heart of integrity, do all things in His strength, and with perseverance walk humbly before Him.

That is my prayers daily for all of us who are finishing our journey on Earth...

We love and miss you and all our Heavenly beloveds....

Until we are reunited xoxoxoxo forever and ever

Good Morning My Love,
On this Christmas Eve, I am remembering all the lovely Christmas's we spent together with our friends and family. We were very blessed then and remain very blessed today...

I see everyday the Love of our Lord, Jesus through His many blessings.

I love how He provides His strength, His comfort, His peace, and His Healing, as we trust in His Perfect Loving Sovereignty over EVERYTHING!

I know you Howard, and all our beloveds who have gone on before us, are well aware of the Love our Father, God has for His children and all that He has created.

Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of our precious Christ, Jesus, who came down from His thrown in Heaven, to become the Perfect Lamb of God, born in a lowly manger, for the purpose of showing God's Love for His creation...

God the Father, gave His one and only Son, to pay the sin debt of this whole cursed world.... So that, we who trust in this truth, will be forever with Him in Eternal Life in Heaven.

What other God, would choose to give such an amazing Gift, His only precious Son, on behalf of sinful and doomed people like us? None !!!

So, I am looking continually to the day we are all reunited in the Perfect Love of Jesus forever and ever...

your loving wife

Good Morning my forever love,
I miss you so very much, every single day... As the years pass by, God has been very good to sustain us and keep us in His loving care.

I am grateful for ALL the blessings and it brings me so much comfort to know you are just a veil away, with all our loved ones who have passed on...

Thank you for leaving us with wonderful memories, ones we can hold on to, until we are together again...for eternity in God's Perfect LOVE, in Jesus

Love you with all my being xoxoxo

Today is Father's Day my my love, and as always, you and our Heavenly beloveds are in our hearts, and thoughts...we miss you all dearly and love you with all our hearts...

As the day gets closer to being eternally reunited in Heaven, I know it is good to make every day count...to watch continually for God the Father's daily blessings, with both anticipation and humble gratitude...

Thank you, Heavenly Father, God, that we can trust in Your precious son, Jesus... The One, who paid our sin debt, once and for all...so that, we have His perfect peace, and assurance of our eternal life, in Your perfect LOVE!!!

xoxoxo Thank you, Howard for being a wonderful father, and leaving us with beautiful memories to reflect on today and everyday!!!

Good Morning my forever love,
You are always in our hearts...missed and loved more than words can express...

As time marches on, like a diligent soldier, I trust that means we are one day closer to seeing you and all our beloveds in Heaven.

Each day brings challenges...but also many blessings. Yet, it isn't always easy to see the blessings among the challenges of the day...

So, I asked our Lord Jesus, every morning, to help us all; to see His unfailing love, His mercy and His grace throughout each day...

I trust God hears all our prayers; and is willing to give us all, His wisdom, His discernment, and His Mighty Mighty Mighty protection, and is ready to bring us all, His comfort, His peace, His strength, and His healing, to those who seek Him.

It is a precious gift to know all our beloveds are safe in the arms of Jesus. I look forward to the day that we all are in His PERFECT LOVE again, in Heaven...

Thank you Howard, for all you did while you were here with us...you are a continued presence in our lives, just a veil away, and on our side, with Jesus!!! Amen

Sending all my love, hugs and kisses xoxoxo...
