Some people we meet, we liked to forget. Others we barely remember, but there are people you meet and you know in that moment God just wanted to remind you of how much your are loved. My encounter and experience Dad McIntosh and Shirley was just that, God reminding me how important and loved I am. I will miss Dad McIntosh dearly. Greenwood will always be dear to my heart, I miss you guys and I am praying that God's grace and peace would flood your life in this time of loss.

Love ya, LaDonna K. (Moore) Sanders- Albany, NY

Bishop and Pastor Debbie, Laurent and I want you to know how much we love you, and that our prayers are with you. I will always remember Dad Mac s beautiful smile. When my son was a newborn he would come over and tell me how handsome his hats were. He would always say that he had to keep up with his sense of style. His presence will be truly missed. We love you Transformation Church!!!!

There is no honor greater than that of a life well lived, which leaves a legacy for all to relive each time they remember him. Dad McIntosh was such a blessing, always welcoming with a big smile and loving embrace. I thank God that I had the opportunity to have him in my live, even for such a brief moment. My prayers and Love, are with each of the family members, during this season of Dad's transition from mortal to immortality. We look forward to seeing him one day in God's presence, for the ultimate home coming celebration with our Lord and King. May God the Father bless and keep each of you. 
 
Much Love,

I thank God for Shirley and Mr. Howard

I am grateful for the McIntosh's they loved us unconditionally and the memories are forever in my heart.  Coming to visit us during the Holidays. We sang Kareoke over the phone when Happy Birthday came around.  Helped me to eat healthier.  Mr. Howard and Shirley I call on a weekly basis on Monday mornings and talk to Ms. Shirley too and Mr. Howard would tell me a story to think about what the situation I may be encountering and how to see it differently.
Today, I wanted to sent a message to Mr. Howard so I went to the ocean and thought of the memories about 3.00 pm my time and the sun set at about 6.00 pm I thank him for the prayer we called Mr. Howards prayer, "Jesus I love You from the bottom of my heart because You keep me on track in everything I say and everything I do!" It really helped me to release into Gods hands and knowing when I leave here I will be ready to go.  I always am encouraged after being around the McIntosh's I remember Mr. Howard told me my last visit with them He said nothing happens in a hurry.  Basically, don't worry it was saying to me take it slow. I remember when I was expecting my last child Zechariah they came to the hospital.  They also, picked me up and took me to my home. I asked them what middle name to give since my child had a long first Z name.  I asked Howard and Shirley and Shirley mentioned her name was Rae as a middle name I thought of Israel but, then I thought and by the time I reached home it was decided I gave him the middle name of Rael as showing my love.  
I am totally grateful for the day I met them both they shared the Love of God.
Love from
Oliveann, Jacob, MeganRuth, Nathaniel, Adonai, and Zechariah McIntyre household...:) 
P.S. I wear a gold heart I received from Howard and Shirley it is an open heart and now I know the true meaning of that heart reading about his life.  God Jesus Holy Spirit help me to love people you send my way with an open heart and a love that is unconditional. 

A special piece of my life

I dont know where to start so i start with when i met Howard but also Shirley i dont know one without the other it was 2001 i was 11 and didnt know too much about them just that they had just gotten married and were very in love i figured they had been married a long time but my mom told me just that year i was shocked and didnt understand the full story which i later found out and was soo amaised of what God can do i was still figuring out my spiritual self and growing in God i had a long way to go and still growing each day Howard and Shirley were a beacon of hope for my mom and support for the whole family my mom just had her 5Th child and was more than over welmed they became good friends to her through the church we had been going for a while before it became Transformation but we drove so far to get there each sunday and wednesdays but worth it that year Howard and Shirley started coming over for visits and surpirzed us on Christmas which was really nice since we had no grandparents or any other family at the time they would pray for us with us and were there for us they shared healthy foods and recipes and showed us much love anf few years pass and we got wrapped up in our busy lifes no longer attend transformation church but moved on to another and lost some contact my mom had moved to califirnia and came back for a visit in Feb even though Howard memory is not there he lit up when he saw my mom and after our visit Shirley and him prayed over us i continued my visits this year and sat with him while Shirley could do errrands and other stuff most the time howard slept while i tried to coax him to exercise and read the bible and he would always ask me about my new car everytime which is a chrysler and then conversations about God he would be mostly forgetful intill a few time was able to tell me so much and even offer me advice on how to speak to God it helped so much and on the last day i saw him he was at the hospitol recovering from a fall we talked about God and he told me to love God and keep my heart open words i will never forget he was such a special piece of my life that helped me to grow and be who i am today i thank him and miss him and will think of him all the time.
