To the entire Bowen Family. I am sorry to hear about Aunt Gloria. Even though we really aren't related, she made me feel like family. She gave us all many wonderful memories. I'm so glad that Carol is my best friend and I grew up with all of you. I am keeping you all in my prayers.

To The Bowen Family,
It was such a pleasure meeting grandma Bowen last year. I loved her personality and funny side. She will be missed but never forgotten.

To all the Bowens, I am so sad to hear about Gloria. Whenever I had the chance to visit with her, conversation was easy. She was caring, genuine, funny and full of spunk. How she will be missed by you all!
We are praying for you.
