My hearfelt sympathy to all the Owens family. Losing a mother is very hard. I know I took care of mom all my life. The family ties we share seem to disappear after mom is gone. I only knew Mabel a short time but, she was a hoot. My deepest sympathy to each of you. Values from mom will linger long after mom is gone. (Melanie Owens Hall's mother-in-law) In Christan Love,

As a very good friend of Keith, I remember Mrs. Owen's cooking, that chocolate layered cake I am now 290 pounds. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. She lived a long life and has some wonderful family surrounding her that she built. I know she is smiling down from heaven so happy and proud of you all!!

I was so shocked and sadden to see of Miss Mabel's passing this morning. All of you have my deepest sympathy. She was such a wonderful lady with the brightest smile! Always a kind word. I have wonderful memories of her from my growing up in Mathews and later years when she came to my home for family holiday gatherings with Uncle Waverly.
