Dear Family,
May Jehovah God comfort you during this time of loss. Though there may be little that can be said or done to ease your pain, may you find comfort in knowing that many care and sympathize with your sadness. Always know that Jehovah God is with you to strengthen and guide you. May your trust in his promise of a resurrection bring you peace. – Acts 24:15
Warm Regards,
K. L. Banks
Howard was a wonderful man and will be missed by all.
Dear Sally and Cissy,
I dont know if you girls know me or have heard of me but I had the great honor and pleasure of knowing both your dad and your mother. I have known them since your dad started buying his Mercedes in Greenville, SC. because he was buying them from me. He would always come by when he was going hunting. We had a lot in common to be 30 years apart.He was quite the man and it was a pleasure to know him especially for as long as I got to. He actually came by a couple of weeks ago to tell me that he probably will not see me anymore, and when I walked him out to the car I hugged him and cried as he drove off. He was a gentleman to the nth degree and your mother is a sweet heart and always had a smile, hug and kiss for me when she came with him. God be with all of you and I hope to get the opportunity to talk to or see y’all soon. And please give your mother a hug from me. ROBIN…..
So sorry to hear about Howard. He was a great man and a great friend to my parents. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
My family and I send our sympathies. May you find comfort in knowing it is not “God’s will” or true that “God takes people”, or even “it was his time”. James 34:10 states “It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, for the Almighty to do wrong!” We pray God continue soothing you and your family.
I worked as secretary for Mr. Fowler and Mr. Webb for a number of years. He taught me so much about the legal practice and was always so good to me. I remember you girls, Cissy and Sally but I don’t think you will remember me. You were very young in 1961. It was his and Mr. Webb’s training that helped me attain any success I have had in my professional life. I will always remember him for his knowledge and kindness. May God comfort you and your family.
Mrs. Fowler, Sally and Cissy, I was so saddened to hear about Mr. Fowler. He was a good friend to my dad, Joe, He was a wonderful man and will be missed by many. You all will be in my prayers during this difficult time. God bless you.
So sorry to hear about Howard passing. He was a good neighbor and friend to my parents Ralph and Marguerite Dunson.
