I thank God that I got to talk and pray with Howard at Ascension Allsaint. Howard told me he was ready when the Lord come for him and he thank God for giving him time to change his life. He also pray for his son too. He crack joke about some of his friends. He let me know how Earnest and Cynthia took good care of him. No matter what he was going through he had a smile on his face.
