Dear Dr. Rowe and Woodward and Rowe families: I am so blessed to have Dr. Rowe and Margaret as part of my life. Jim and I thoroughly enjoyed our times with you both so very much and all the phone conversations through the years; all the love, warmth, caring for and from you both. Margaret was pure class, through and through. The very essence of a lady. One of a kind. So very special and I will never forget and always love her deeply. I am sorry for your loss and pray the healing will begin now. Much love, Felice Schonberg

We met Mrs. Rowe over 20yrs ago thru my dear friend John Woodward. She always treated me like I was one of her own with such warm affection and sincere kindness. Im sure she made most people she touched, feel the same way. With that personality, she probably made for an absolute perfect nurse during her career as well. Dr. Dan and the family were very lucky to have her as the matriarch. The world was a better place with her in it. We will miss you Mrs. Rowe. With all our love, The Donnell family.
