EULOGIES & CONDOLENCES
Dear Nile, I was saddened to read of Dot's
death.She has certainly lived a long life and was, I
m sure, ready to die. I will not be at cemetery,
but will think of all of you as you oversee her
burial. I will never forget your kindness when
Charles died. Whatever would we do without friends?
My sincere regards to you.
Dear Dot Howard family,
How blessed you all have been to have had Dot with
you these many years. I remember her and Marvin
when I was pastor at Wesley Memorial United
Methodist Church and they were members there.
Marvin died (5-6-76)when I was pastor there and I
had his funeral. I recall he had an old Model T
or A Ford. They were the nicest people anyone
would want to know and I have always thought so
much of them. I am now retired, 12+ yrs. May God
bless and comfort you each one so much. Dot was a
wonderful Christian.
James "Jim" S. Pollock, former Wesley Memorial
pastor, 1974-78
