With much sadness I announce the loss of my oldest brother. "LanceyHoward". A heart attack was the cause. Words can hardly express the heartache this has caused our/his family. FreeRepublic was part of the "air" he breathed. His last contribution was a Comment the very day he died on Nagging Women, something his dear wife never was. Please pray for her, his three children, and two grandchildren. Thank you all the pleasure FreeRepublic brought him.
My condolences too. He was a SOLID FReeper.
Oh my. He will be missed. My prayers for his wife and children, for you and the rest of his family.
RIP Lancey Howard
Promoted to Glory.
Thanks for joining the great Cloud of Witnesses watching over us dear Lancey.
my condolences
Condolences and prayers.
I’m sorry to hear he has passed on. Prayers up for the whole family.
RIP. His commentary always added value to the discussion. He will be missed.
Oh NO!!
LanceyHoward was one of my top THREE favorite posters!! He was funny, sarcastic, brilliant and always spot on.
I often scanned threads when I was busy for HIS commentary b/c it always made me laugh.
So, so sorry. He will be missed on this forum, incredibly missed!
Will remember him tonight in my prayers...May he RIP.
Lancey was my friend. One of the best I had on FR. I just saw this announcement and my blood froze. I will miss him personally and Free Republic will miss him so very much.
He was an amazing voice here and a trustworthy and loyal FRiend. Tears are flowing now and Lancey, I will remember you always.
My condolences to his family and friends. I know Lancey is in heaven. May that knowledge sustain you and give you some peace.
Prayers up.
For all of you.
RIP
FReeper Lancey Howard, USMC
My deepest condolences on the death of your brother and our fellow FReeper. Truly he will be missed. Prayers for you and the family.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family. May God comfort you.
I am so sorry to hear of your brother’s passing. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.
Prayers and condolences.
Thank you ALL for your genuine care, condolences, compassion, and concern.
I neglected to mention our dear mother. Please remember her. Although her mind has been ravaged by dementia, she knows her 4 sons. “Lancey”, being the oldest of the four had the power of attorney for all of her needs. Among the many things he will be remembered for was his faithful and constant attention to her needs. Telling her of his passing was not easy, however, her inability to retain short term memory, in this instance, is kind of a blessing. Pray for my OTHER brother who will now assume the role.
I just read this and was going to send my sincerest prayers for you and your brother’s family. After reading this last post, my heart is broken. I will hold your dear Mother in my prayers, and ask the Angels to comfort her in all ways.
So very sorry for your loss and may guidance from spirit bring healing to your family.
Thank you so much for tending to this thread today.
Prayers for your cherished Mother, too. God bless her and keep her.
You two brothers have suffered such a sad a tragic loss without any warning.
I’ve prayed off and on all day for “Lancey’s” wife, children and grandchildren and for you and your brother, so thanks very much for telling us about your mom.
Prayers also, that you will all be able to get some sleep tonight.
God bless.
