Not sure what to say?

Dear Lowry Family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I want you to know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers!

Cheri, Pam, and Katherine we were so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Davis will always have a special place in our hearts. We love you all.

Cheri, Pam, and Katherine,
God bless you all. I know He has wrapped you in His loving arms and will comfort you as only He can. I will always remember Davis and his wonderfully unlimited stream of jokes when he would stop by Mt Pisgah during my time on staff there. He always had a smile and a good word for everyone he met, and he will be sorely missed. I love you all and will hold you in the light of His love!

To the Lowry Family,

I had the pleasure of working with Davis at Virginia Farm Bureau - he always had a joke or an endearing story to tell. He'd light up when he spoke of his family, boats, dogs and music. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Cheri, Pam, & Katherine, We are so sorry for your loss. Davis was one heck of a guy. I am sorry that Shirley and I could not make it to the service but in dealing with our loss we just could not come. Give each other a hug, tell each other I love you. The Lord will help you through this as he is helping us.

Cheri, Katherine, Pam and Donald,

This week has been a sad one for all of us who had the privilege of calling Davis our friend. He will be remembered often when we get together at the marina.

We are so very sorry for you loss.

Cheri, Pam & Kath our thoughts will be with you today as you pay tribute to a wonderful brother-in-law/son-in-law. He was a loving father and husband. I will truly miss his emails and jokes. Sorry we cannot be there with you but looking forward to seeing all of you for the holidays.
Love & Hugs
DI & MOM
