I first met Paul at the meat counter of the Minit Mart where local issues were discussed. I remember lots of laughter. Little then did I know that our sons would connect in such a positive way. Please know that all the Rowes care how you are feeling now and in the days ahead. You've had a tough two years and we wish you happiness ahead.
Love, Judi
