Angela Carter Welcome to you all. We are here this afternoon to share our grief at the loss of Samuel Howard, my uncle Sam but also to celebrate his life.

I hope you feel comfortable to express your emotions in some way. Perhaps you’ll feel glad that you took the opportunity to do some of your grieving in the presence of others who have known and loved Sam too that he was a part of our lives.

The Lord Is My Shepherd’ Hymn Book Page 118.

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;He makes me down to lie

In pastures green; he leadeth meThe quiet waters by.

My soul he doth restore again,And me to walk doth make

Within the paths of righteousness,E'en for his own name's sake.

Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,Yet will I fear no ill:

For thou art with me, and thy rodAnd staff me comfort still.

My table thou hast furnishedIn presence of my foes;

My head thou dost with oil anointAnd my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my lifeShall surely follow me;

And in God's house for evermoreMy dwelling-place shall be.

Footprints by Mary Stevenson

One night I dreamed a dream.I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.

"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."

Do not be afraid, for I am with you Do not be afraid, declares the Lord Do not be afraid, for I am with you And will rescue you forever more.

Our Father, Who art in heavenHallowed be Thy Name;
