There are no words. My heart hurts. This I know for sure, Aunt Liz is now free, free indeed. No more pain or sorrow. She loved everyone with her whole heart. Thank you God for the privilege. Love you family.

Aunt Liz will truly be missed. I will miss her smile, laugh & most of all her sweet spirit. My prayers are with you Uncle Bud & my cousins. Have comfort in knowing that she is resting in peace and that you provided great care & love for her. Aunt Liz touched a great deal of people and helped our family In so many different ways. She took a lot of our "secrets" with her. She will forever be missed. Love you all.

Romans 10:15
"And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?" As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"The life of your mother speaks for her, and we are thankful to get a glimpse of God's love from her life through her son and daughter, Brother Russell and Minister Diane Howell. Know that we are praying for you. The joy we share in this hour is knowing Evangelist Howell is present with The Lord. Those who die in Christ Jesus shall live again, for Jesus said,"I am the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by me. We love you.

The New Daniel's Chapel Church Family has lost a very valuable pillow of our congregation. We will truly miss all her encouraging words and that smile of comfort she would give to us. There are not enough words to express how much we will miss her; there is a deep vacancy in our hearts, yet we are believing God. The family is wrapped in all the Love that we can give.

Liz was for sure one of THE most "bestest and favorite sister-in love" anyone could ever ask for and or imagine to have. Her expressions of love towards us (her family), Bud especially, and others that came in contact with her was priceless... "Precious in the site of the Lord is the death of his saints" Psalm 116:115 is the text that seems SO fitting for my sister-in love. I pray God's Greatest Grace and Mercy everlasting to our family. Yes, we LOVE you my sister but, "I am convinced that nothing in all creation shall be able to seperate us from God's love which is in Christ Jesus". Romans 8:38-39. Sincerly, Faye

My deepest condolences to the Howell Family. You will miss her immensely but there is no question of where she is and you can all be with her again in God's time. Liz and I worked together for many years at Wilson-Greene MHC. She has always been one of the nicest people with whom I have ever worked. The world has lost a good woman, but you know that this world was not her home, she was only passing through on her way to her eternal home with Jesus.

Uncle Bud, Tracy, Russell, April, Rashaud, & Imari,
I am sending this to you for comfort - these words were sent to me from Aunt Liz. I hope this will help you as well. Love you all very much!
Psalms 27:
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
I am sending this to you for comfort - these words were sent to me from Aunt Liz. I hope this will help you as well. Love you all very much!

Aunt Liz was such an amazing Aunt, godmother, and human being. I was always amazed by the compassion, concern, and love that she always showed. I will miss her smile, laughter, hugs, and wonderful kind spirit. She was truly an angel sent from Heaven. Words cannot express the depth and magnitude of the loss but as she always said, "y'all don't worry about me, I will be just fine". I hear her voice still and I know that she is "just fine" resting in the arms of the Lord. I will cherish every moment I was able to share with her and love her dearly. May God continue to bless and comfort Uncle Bud and my cousins. I love you all.

You have lost a jewel. We will miss Evangelist Howell, for she was a FAITHFUL Soldier, she loved her Preaching, her Ushering and her family, most of all her devoted husband and the Lord. Jesus said in His word "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
I know Mrs. Howell is resting in the arms of our savior. She will greatly be missed in her church and home, but I know she's resting in her prepared place now. Rest on my dear sister and friend. Praying for the family:

To know Liz was to love her. I had the pleasure of working with Liz for 10 years. She was my work Mom. She kept me in line, sometimes giving me a slight shake of the head to let me know "girl you better not". Liz didn't have to tell you she was a woman of God. It was exemplified in the way she carried herself. She was faithful, humble, kind, encouraging and had such a gentle spirit. Never a harsh word did I hear her speak. We shared so many stories and laughs. I loved to hear her laugh. She loved her family dearly and spoke of them often. Her face would always light up when she said "Bud". I'm so glad God allowed me the opportunity to cross paths with Liz. Her friendship encouraged me to be a better person in many ways. To Mr. Howell, Tracy, April, Gannon, Russell, Diane and the grandchildren my prayers are with you. You have been blessed to have such a wonderful woman in your life. May God wrap you in peace and comfort during this difficult time and in days to come.
The last time I spoke to Liz she kept saying I'm fine, I'm fine. I wasn't too sure but now I am. In know she's fine now.
Love,
Jessica Bulluck

my deepest condolences goes out to the Howel family in time of sorrow When our loved ones die, we mourn. And we may ask: ‘What has happened to them? Are they suffering? Are they watching over us? Can we help them? Will we ever see them “THESE are questions that people have thought about for thousands of years. They are important questions. No matter who we are or where we live, the answers concern each one of us.” “At such times, we need to go to God’s Word for comfort. (Read 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.) The Bible helps us to understand how Jehovah and Jesus feel about death” “Jesus taught that someday “all those in the memorial tombs” will be resurrected. (John 5:28) Jehovah is the Creator of all life. Should it be hard to believe that he can re-create life? Of course, much would depend on Jehovah’s memory. Can he remember our dead loved ones? Countless trillions of stars fill the universe, yet God knows the name of each one! (Isaiah 40:26) So Jehovah God can remember our dead loved ones in every detail, and he is ready to restore them to life. “How, though, does Jehovah feel about resurrecting the dead? The Bible teaches that he is eager to raise the dead. The faithful man Job asked: “If a man dies, can he live again?” Job was speaking about waiting in the grave until the time came for God to remember him. He said to Jehovah: “You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.”—Job 14:13-15.”“Just think! Jehovah longs for the time when he will bring the dead back to life. Is it not heartwarming to learn that If you have any questions you may contact me at the E-Mail above or visit our website at JW.ORG thank you Mrs Gloria brown or you can call me at (586) 625-2014
