Dear Uncle Sonny and family: I was so sorry to read about Auntie Jean's passing. I always fondly remember that you both came to my father, Keith Bowen's funeral on your anniversary. My Dad loved you both.
May God bless you all at this time and always.
love,
Lisa Bowen on behalf of Shawn and his family, as well.

With heartfelt condolences to you Marcia and family for the loss of your Mom. May she rest in peace . I have great memories growing up as a teen and your Mom was so much fun to be around. Great memories indeed at the Gilkes house.
