Read MoreTo Linda, Wanda, Kenny and Ryan. I remember when Vivian Jackson Anderson invited to FCOG in 1975. One of the first couples I met was Brother and Sister Bowman. They both welcomed me and my children into their home. Sister Bowman will be greatly missed. She and Brother Bowman are reunited. Oh what a time! Thank you for sharing them with us.

Beloved Family! Your mom was a true pistol and I so enjoyed being in her presence! She filled my spirit with the delights of her and my mom's past. She was so proud of their friendship and she brought my mom back to me with her razor sharp memory! You all stay strong and celebrate her party in Heaven. Much love, Linda Diane #2

Dearest Family of "Mom" Bowman, Please know that sincerest prayers for your comfort and strength during this time of transition come from my heart.

To the Family:
Sister Bowman will truly be missed! She and I met years ago in sunday school. When I moved to Alabama, the miles between us did not hinder our relationship, as we continued to keep in touch. She was a true woman of God. And again, I will truly miss her. She was a very good friend to me!

Linda and Wanda, as a youngster in First Church, I can remember the two of you as small children. As long as I can remember Brother and Sister Bowman were fine examples of righteousness. They are both gone now, but they leave you and your children with "...an inheritance among them which are sanctified." (Acts 20:32). You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you move up the King's Highway.
