Sending peace and love to the family. Apostle Howard always had a warm welcoming smile. I first met him when he took Khristie and I to the mall to pick out her eleventh grade prom dress. He has been a blessing in my life. Sonya G.

Apostle, as our overseer of the Church of God in McDonough, Ga you will truly be missed. You were certainly dutiful in the church: singing, preaching, playing the drums and the guitar, I mean, you know how to have a good time. Anytime I called you for help, you were always there, if it's not you coming, you'd send someone. I remember your most recent sermon about "Sit Down Servant, and Rest A Little While". With Love, Sister Linda Speer
Apostle, I'm really going to miss you. You always had funny sayings and stories to tell, and your advice was simply straightforward. I'm going to miss seeing you at The Church of God in McDonough,Ga, and playing that black guitar of yours.....(lol) Man, what a time!
With Love,
