To all the Bowen family, We are so sorry for this great loss. Please know that you have been and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I found this verse for you, may it bring you strength and peace during this time..... Psalm 18:2

We love you..... Dan and Lisa Uhlry

To The Bowen Family,

I had the honor of meeting Grandpa Bowen just last year and enjoyed every minute of conversation we shared. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Wish I could there. God has called him home along side Grandma Bowen and they are watching over all of us. Granpa Bowen may you be rejoicing in God's Kingdom and rest in peace. Amen
