Uncle Glen, Gary and Paul it has been a joy to have been brought into the Bowers family and become part of each of yours by doing so. I spent many hours in your home with Carol and your Aunt Lucille. Your mother was a joy to be around. She loved life. She loved her family, her husband, sons and grandchildren and never hesitated to brag a little about them when given a chance. I never saw Aunt Ruth where she didn't have a smile on her face. Your memories will keep her close to your heart even though they are heavy with sorrow at this time. My prayers will be with each of you. Thanks for letting me be part of your lives.
