Debbie, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I enjoyed working with Harvey for many years at the PCA. We moved away from Miles City many years ago but enjoyed running into to Harvey at the Bucking Horse Sale when we would come home and catching up on things. Often you were with him.

My sincere condolences to the family of Harvie L. Howes – May you find comfort in your loving memories, great pictures and in recalling the many talents of Mr. Howes. It was not the Creator’s purpose that mankind suffer and die (Romans 5:12). God has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). In the Bible we are promised the resurrection of dear family members and friends that we have lost (John 5:28, 29). I hope you are comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
