As I drove away tonight after the viewing with tears streaming down my face, I wanted to turn around and go through line again- only this time never stop hugging- something to take away your pain, to show the love and pain I feel for you all.
But that wouldn’t take away your pain and loss, so instead I’ll be praying for each of you, and asking God to shower His love down on you- especially little Sis Tabael, because I could see that he held a special place in her heart.
Love and prayers,
David Howe (for all the Don & Vickie Howes)
