Chamber board meets to discuss 2020 events One of Howe’s leaders received some bad news recently. Jesse Farrer, a 1989 Howe High graduate, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Angiosarcoma. It’s in his spine and pelvis. He’ll start treatment Tuesday at UT Southwest. In true “Jessie-fashion,” he used the horrible news to glorify God. “God is the ultimate healer and we truly believe that he has the power to change the outcome,” Farrer stated on his Facebook. “We believe in the power of prayer so we ask that you pray for healing first and foremost because we serve a mighty God. I want everyone to know that I love you and I’m looking forward to hugging your neck next time I see you.” Jessie Farrer was a senior during my freshman year and saying that he was influential and impactful in my life is a very large understatement. As a football player, he gave 110 percent every play no matter the score. He was a coach's dream. He played with pain and sacrificed his own body for the betterment of the team. Jesse can be summed up by, “never say die.” EDITOR’S NOTE—This column is reserved as an opinion column and may not necessarily reflect the policy of this publication.
