This world is not our home. We were placed here by God to serve his purposes. When that temporary assignment is complete, God calls us to eternal life.
May God wrap the Hawkins family in his love as you say, ” see you later” and not goodbye to Armita.
On half of the Howell family to The Hawkins Family…
Our Prayers and deepest condolences goes out to each of you. Continue to be strong in The Lord and in the Power of His might as we each have to accept what God allows. We do treasure the time that we shared with our loved ones. This world is not our home. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, timing is in The Lord’s hands.
Much love to each of you.
Bonnie Howell & Family
