I have many fond memories of Mildred and Duard from Cornerstone Baptist. I have been attending for 30 years, and have been truly blessed with her sweet spirit and her constant smile. Her amusing stories were so heartfelt, that I looked forward to each meeting. Her relationship with Duard was such an encouragement to others, as well as her faithfulness to the Lord's ministry. We are here to be a blessing, and she touched the heart and life of each person she met. I know the joy she has is still being spread through heaven, and when I think of her, I will always smile.

Duard and Millie were so kind and gracious in sharing their lives with all us at Dayton Baptist Temple. As teenagers we were invited to their home after church on Sunday nights. Please accept my sincere condolences to the family.

How I loved Mildred and Duard Bowron! They had a very special part in our lives at Dayton Baptist Temple before God called us to the mission field. God called dear Mildred home to Heaven on my birthday. Was surprised to see that. Praying for all the family.
