Uncle Howard's Memorial Service

Jeri Lynn, Randy & me
2nd Cousins, Gretchen and Shawn with their kids who are 3rd cousins!
Here is Mom and Dad talking to a fellow who shared the lord with Howard. His father, a Quaker minister, married H & G 60 years ago!

This afternoon in Fallbrook was the memorial service for our Uncle Howard. It was at the golf course where he and Aunt Gloria live. It was well attended (about 100 people). I was able to see Jeri Lynn and Jere Duke; their 2 daugthers and 4 grandchildren were our from Michigan. Randy, his wife Katharine and daughter Eleanor were there as well. The pastor did a wonderful job. It was evangelistic. He and 2 others talked to Uncle Howard about his salvation within the last 2 weeks of his life. They all seem to think he chose to spend eternity in heaven. :-)
Here are some photos of the service.
