When you told about Mr. Raymond I had no idea he had passed. Thank you for being so kind as to being able to let me know. Mr. Mowdy was such a wonderful being. I will always remember my new name given by him. (Rochelle). May God continue to bless you and your family.

Dear Aunt Bea,
We've missed you and Uncle Raymond at the reunions in recent years. I have vivid memories of listening to my Dad and Uncle Raymond discussing their lives and sharing memories of growing up in Mississippi. They will not be forgotten.

Dear Ms. Mowdy and family,
Although I do not know you, I wanted to still send my condolences. I used to live in Woodbridge but moved to North Carolina in 1982. I keep up with the "old home town" by reading the Potomac News online and came across Mr. Mowdy's obituary. I recognized the last name and wondered if it was Roger's dad and saw that it was. I was a friend of Roger's in the 70's and every now and again think of him fondly. Please accept my condolences and may God ease the heartache once again.
