Ann, I am so sorry for the loss of Dr. Owens. I worked part-time nights at Echo Glen. Dr. Owens was truly a special person. All of the nurses loved him, as well as the children he truly cared about. I remember, when he went on his missionary work, how upset all of the nurses were so upset about him leaving. He wrote to us often, so we could know what he was experiencing.

Ann,
I am sorry to hear of your loss of Jim. I am excited he is with his heavenly father! You and Jim always inspired me. Your giving your lives away seemed so natural.. I will treasure the time you shared your many travels to refugee camps with Kim and I. Seeing your smiling faces at church warmed my heart. Peace and Joy Kelly Lunda Sampson

I met Jim at Elderwise, where we spent Fridays together. His overflowing love and joy touched me deeply. I miss his exuberance.

Jim and Ann have been a blessing and an inspiration to Dave and I and our three sons, all of whom benefited from Jim's caring and gifted leadership in UPC' Scout Troop as well as other church activities. He was a great model of Christian manhood and generous service to the needy here in the Northwest and other countries where he ministered. All who knew him can count ourselves privileged.

I met Dr. Owens at Echo Glen in 1968 when my career in corrections began. What an example of goodness and commitment to all people. I also learned about UPC from him. This has been my home church for many years. Having mentors with such quailties as Dr. Owens guided me in my vocational path. Jan Esterly
