Messages of Condolence

Sheila, we were very sorry to see that your Mom passed away. Our sympathy to you and all the family. It doesn't matter how old our folks are, it's always hard to lose them. ~ Jean and Keith Kline

Our sincerest condolences to the Howell family in the passing of your dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. We will always fondly remember Betty and her kindness, her wonderful smile, and her warm welcome. ~ Earl and Judy Dreeshen

My deepest condolences to the entire Howell family. I reminded my Dad (John Charlton) today on his 89th birthday that it was 73 years ago that his family moved from Howell's Lake where my Grandfather (Humphrey) homesteaded. I have wonderful memories of Betty gardening at our farm in Red Deer and bringing Teddy, that fluffy big dog out for visits. Those are some of the most treasured memories of my youth. Betty was a beautiful soul and made such a great impression on me and I am sure many others. ~ David J Charlton
