Barbara Diane (Tate) Howie

“There's a place in heaven prepared for me when the toil of this life is over.; where the saints are clothed in white before the throne singing praises forever, forever more. In my Father's house there are mansions bright; if He said, then I know, I know it's true.  There's a place for me beyond, beyond the sky, brothers and sisters there is one for you. Jesus, He promised me a home over there. Jesus promised me a home over there. No more sickness, sorrow, pain or care, He promised, me a home over there.”
