Not sure what to say?

I was honored to have met Mary Eleanor and to have talked with her. She was the sweetest and loved cousin. My mother, Minnie Crapse Kitchings talked about her and to her frequently. She and Virginia always seemed to be there for my mom, especially with the loss of my dad. Thank you to her and her family for showing the love and true friendship. Rest in peace and Gods care.
Love always,
Barbara K. Evans

I met this beautiful lady when my wife Karen and I were invited by Tommy Folk to share Thanksgiving some 3 years ago. What a wonderful time we had! I will never forget that time and wish we had known her sooner. God bless.......

One of the sweetest, most memorable precious friend anyone could have.
Wherever there was a piano she would play my favorite song Victory In Jesus.
Will miss her so much.

To the Bowers family,

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. May the God of comfort help you find peace and comfort by the words found in Psalms 119: 76

Even though we are distant Wiggins cousins, Mary Eleanor always made us feel a part of her family. We will miss her vibrant personality, her warmth, her knowledge of genealogy, sense of humor, her politics, and her enthusiasm. When other seniors were singing the blues, she was singing Hallelujahs. She expressed great love for her family and for her heritage. She leaves a big imprint on our hearts. Rest in peace sweet lady. Nancy (Welch) Manke and Hugh Manke, Hamden, Connecticut

To the family of Mrs. Bowers,

I did not have the pleasure of getting to know her, but I wish I had. She sounds like quite an amazing person in so many ways, and a real asset to Estill and vicinity. The obit notice summed it up in the first sentence: "a long, rich, and wonderful life." She was blessed to have had one, and the community was blessed to have had her in it for as long as it did. may she rest in peace.

I am very sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort give you the endurance to get through this time. Throw your anxieties on Him and He will give you peace!

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. What a full life she had. May you find comfort in knowing that the God of all comfort is there for your family. Isa. 61:1,2
