Who would believe it’s been eight years since you left us? My, how the years have passed! We now have eleven great grandchildren. And all our kids are in their sixties. Yep, time is passing by.

Hi Daddy,

I just came by here today to write, I guess, 
what I know you already hear from my heart,
when I have questions, and why’s and wonders, when we talk.

I still have your photo “temporarily” pinned to the fridge,
I think it has become permanently “temporarily” in its place of honor,
As it comforts me when I am alone, 
knowing you are just in another room in the home.

I had the best visit from Granny the other day,
Oh the giggles and laughs we both made,
I know you must have heard us as we carried on,
I was laughing for hours after she had gone.

Talk to you later Daddy like I always do,
I still have lots of questions, why’s and wonders too,
And I think you look forward to my company too.
Love you.


Peace

There is peace in Christ, 
when we walk with Him. 
Down the road from Galilee, 
to Jerusalem.

He gives us HOPE,
when hope is gone. 
He gives us PEACE,
to carry on. 
He gives us SHELTER,
in the storms of life.
When there's no peace on earth,
there is PEACE in Christ.

🌬 🕊

It's been almost 2 years and there are days when it seems like only yesterday that you started your eternity with our Lord Jesus. I miss you and wait patiently as I  wait for the day when we will be united in heaven forever. You would be so proud  of how well our kids and grandkids are doing. With  a love that never end, Rosanne

I give you this one thought to keep.
I am with you still. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone.
I am with you still in each new dawn.

Much love Daddy!! ❤

My deepest sympathies go to these family members as they grieve. May you be blessed with His peace that passes all understanding. Know that there is much love and lots of prayers being lifted for you all. 
HOI member, Janet Rogers Ross

Rosanne and family, 
My prayers are with you.  May you have peace, strength, endurance and many precious memories to sustain you until you meet again.

Dear family of Ken Howell, 
Thank you for sharing this beloved gentle man with our Hope of Israel Congregation family in Charlotte.
Please accept the merciful comfort of the God of all comfort in Messiah Jesus being requested often in prayer for you.
Roseanne, you are deeply loved. Please lean completely on the everlasting arms reaching out to you through our hands.
Christopher, remembering your special relationship with your Grandpa; that you would find the tenderness of him growing in you to bless loved ones to come.
gently,

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss.  We have you in our prayers,

My love, prayers and condolences to everyone.

Pam I am so sorry for your loss and the family's loss as well.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Roseanne and family,
So very sorry for the loss of your beloved Ken. May you rely on the Lord for your strength during this most difficult time and know that your friends are praying for your healing. 

May his memory be a constant blessing to you and bring you comfort.

All my love to you,

Rosanne, our love and prayers go out to you and your family as you say your farewell to Ken.  It is not really farewell but until you meet again in Eternity.  May God bless you and your family and provide the comfort as only He can and know that Ken is at peace in His Home now.

Dear Roseanne,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Deepest condolences on the loss of your dear husband. God bless you and your family during this time and always.
Love, The Villamor Family

Daddy,

I have great comfort in the remembrance of who you are; in the fond memories I have of your gentleness, kindness and great ability to love unconditionally. 

I genuinely remember the perfect gentleman you are, perhaps something learned from the time period you grew up in; or perhaps, I like to think, the good manners you were taught by our joyful and loving Granny.

There are innumerable, wonderful memories I have, too many to count . . . you gently conveyed to me when I was 6 or 7 years old that my dog was asleep in the backyard when I couldn't wake him up; you spontaneously took me on a motorcycle ride at my simple request one Saturday morning; and the many months you lived with us your lovingkindness and laughter always brighten up our days.

Of all the things I know for sure, 
We shall meet again,
You are just beyond a veil,
Where all of life began.
You gently taught me many things,
That others will never hear.
Daddy, you are my HERO,
And so shall you ever be.

"WE HAVE THIS
HOPE,
as an Anchor
FOR THE SOUL,
FIRM and steadfast."
Hebrews 6:19

Much love Daddy.

Dear Roseanne, 
Greg and I mourn with you over the loss of your beloved Ken.  You and your family are in our prayers.  The Lord is near to the broken-hearted and we pray for His comfort and peace over you.  May he comfort your heart with the knowledge you will see him again. 
Love, 
Greg and Marianela Leekley

God Bless and comfort you and your family Rosanne.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rosanne and Family,

Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Ken. We are here for you if you should need us.  

Prayers of God's deep comfort and peace are being said for you, even as I write this.

Blessings and Comfort in Yeshua,
Greg & Carolyn Phillips

Love and prayers for Rosanne and all of her family! May the Lord comfort and keep you and give you strength during these days of mourning for Ken. 

Much love from your HOI family,
Ann
