Esther A. Bowden

May God grant all of you peace in this time after the passing of Esther.

Heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. Esther so graciously befriended my mother last year when she moved to All Saints. Initially, Esther wrote a sweet card to welcome my mother. Then she would wait at the dining room table so Orella wouldn't have to eat alone. Esther's care and thoughtfulness were apparent to all who were graced to know her. May she be welcomed into Heaven with the words "Well done, good and faithful servant".

May God help you and your family find peace in this time of sorrow.

Esther and I were in the same Stephen Ministry Class. I enjoyed our sharing times and her gracious personality.

Another of his promises is that those in his memory will be brought back to life. May these facts bring you some comfort.

I am sorry to hear of Esther's death. She was a lovely person. A beautiful obituary. Sincerely, Kathy Sweetman

And when I visited in the hospitals, the patient would often say, "Some very nice lady (or Esther Bowden, if they knew her) from Our Savior's...
