Cheryl, my sincere condolences to you and your entire family. Although I did not have the pleasure and honor to meet your Mother, I'm sure she was a kind, caring, loving, and deeply devoted woman, because the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree". Take care; Love always, Stephen

Although I never had the honor of actually meeting your mother, I am confident that her legacy will continue on. A mother's greatest work is illustrated through their children...
We love you Cheryl, and we keep you in our prayers during this difficult time.

Cheryl and Family my wife and I would like to express our sorrow for your loss. I would like to think that your loved one can never truly die as long as they remain close to your heart. The earthly bonds may have been broken but her true essence remains in the love and teachings that she has past down to you and yours. Rejoice in how she lived in the celebration we call life. MUCH LOVE!

Dear Family:
I recall Mrs. McCowin as being a very humble lady with a beautiful smile and spirit. The void will be great but eventually warm memories of her presence and love will replace the lonliness. May God's love sustain you forever.

Mr. Norman McCowin:
Allow me to extend my deepest condolences,
“In Your Pocket”
Mr. McCowin, you have memories in your pocket.
They rattle among the change.
Your memories of your mom are treasures you will carry wherever you go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole.
They will give you comfort when you think you are alone.
Yes, you will have memories in your pocket, like so much other stuff you keep there.
But of all the treasures you have, it’s the memories of your mom that are the most precious.
May the grace of God sustain you during this during this time.
God bless,

Hello Cheryl you have my deepest condolence for you and your family. the Bible tells us being absent from our physical body....is to be present with the Lord.....no better place to be. I have you and your family in prayer. I know it's not much I can do at my distance from you, but if you ever need to talk or what ever you think I can be of service.....just ask my friend!!!

I'll always remember Rose and how she made me laugh. While I was working at the Meadows. She always let me know when I did good, and when I wasn't so good. But I love her and her family. Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to care for her and you her family. I think of all of you often and keep all of you close in my heart.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can ever do to help.
