Dear Bowry Family,
Our sincere condolences on the passing of Mr. Bowry. He was such a wonderful gentleman, and my parents so enjoyed his friendship with your family over the years. They often reminisced about the fun trips you took together.
The memorial service was very touching and I was sorry I could not express my sympathy directly to you, because I had a family obligation to get back to.
May you take comfort in the support of family and friends, and in the knowledge that Mr. Bowry is now in God's merciful care. God Bless you all.

Dear Thelma and family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Ted's passing. I know from Dad and my aunties that the Bowry's and Carpinelli's always have been so close. Aunt Mary always said that Thelma was a sister to her. Please know that you're all in my prayers. May the Lord bless you.

My grandfather was a sweet little cutie pie. He could be stubborn at times but he was wonderful and kind. I loved him very much and I know he loved me and my daughter very much. I am just glad he is at peace now. Love Jennifer Lin
