REMEMBER ME:
ABBIE LEE HOWARD, DORA MAE HOWARD
& GUSSIE CLARK
Abbie Howard, daughter of Alonzo Howard.
“I want my family to remember that I love them and that I was a good mother. I want them to take care of each other, share with each other. Most of all, I want them to love each other. If one has a dime, I want him or her to share with the others. I want my family to be close.”
Dora Mae Howard, wife of Arthur Lee Howard, son of Alonzo.
“I want my grandchildren to remember me as someone who put God first in my life and trusted Him for everything. I want everyone in my family to work earnestly and hard and to strive to succeed. Most of all, I want my family to remember that I love all of them very, very much.”
Gussie Clark, daughter of Guss Howard.
“I want my family to remember me by the way I am living. I want them to remember me as a grandmother who loves God and her family, who is kind, patient and industrious, who will stand by them until the end. And when it is all over, I want each one to be able to say, ‘She has fought a good fight. She has finished her course. She has kept the faith. There is laid up for her a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give her on that day.’”
