There are some people who make a life long impact on us...Uncle Donnell was one of those people. I will always remember our breakfast conversations, learning of his scholarly work and learning new vocabulary words! He always had a way of making me feel like a winner, even when I made some not-so-sound decisions. He gave so much of himself to all of us...he will certainly be missed.

I will forever have fond memories of my Uncle Donnell. He was truly a fine example of a man with many dimensions. He was a man who took his personal, professional and spiritual life very seriously and always left a warm feeling when in your presence. I can still see the passion in his expression when he spoke of Aunt Joan, his children, his work and his walk with God. I have mixed emotions as I think of him....I will truly miss him but when I think of his life, I smile....I am truly...

Often times throughout these past five years, I’ve found it very difficult to express my feelings verbally to Donnell and Joan, over the break up of my marriage to their niece Kim. Confused by the turmoil within me, I avoided expressing myself because it would mean that I would have to recognize it, feel it, and even re-live it all over again.

It wasn’t until I attended Donnell's funeral church services that I realized that God had a bigger plan. When the Lord blessed Donnell and...

I only knew Dr. Bowen for a short time. Kim introduced me to him. But even in my short time knowing him, it was immediately obvious that he was a wonderful man, a very wise man, a man who loved to talk, laugh and give advice. In some ways I feel cheated that I didn't get to talk to him more, to spend more time with him. But I know he was happy about KIm and I. I am honored to have met him. I will miss him and I know Kim will also, deeply. I am just happy that I did get to meet him. ...

Uncle Donnell was a beloved uncle and an excellent advisor and mentor. As I grew into adulthood, he shaped me mentally and spiritually, always making sure that I did the best that I could. He encouraged education and making the best use of what God has given you. My last conversation with him was my promise that I would complete my college education. I'm currently enrolled in college with my midterm grade point average of 4.0. It's due to his legacy, his encouragement, and his love. ...

Dr Bowen was not just a good father-law but a great friend as well. During a very challenging time in my life Dr. Bowen secretly made a few phone calls to some associates of his to help me with my business.
I will forever be grateful and I will miss him.
