Bro. Richard Eric Bowden

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I just found out today while surfing the web. Linda, I am so sorry.

I very briefly served as Rick's Associate in Charleston. In the brief time I worked with him he exhibited a calm, a grace, and a compassion that has stuck with me during my last twenty years of ministry. I would hope that I will be remembered as fondly as this mighty man of God.

I thank God for Rick.

Jana and Larry I just heard about your brother's death today. I was having lunch with Pastor Curry from 1st Church. He ran into two men from your church. That when I heard the terrible news. Please accept my apologies for not asking about your family at Jackie's service. I met him several times very nice person. A true man of God. I hope you and all of your family are doing the best you can. Again I'm so sorry. I hope his wife and children are doing well. I will pray for all of you. Very...

Sending love to Linda and your children, Jana and Debbie this morning please know that Gene and I know this is a difficult time for all of you and today is even harder after the final earthly goodbye but just remember what a day of rejoicing it will be when we all get to Heaven where there will be no more separation!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful guy with so many people!! Love you all so much!!

May God bless the Bowden family in this time of sorrow.

Remembering Rick and wishing you peace as your family embarks upon the spectrum of grief. May a blanket of comfort wrap around each of you for as long as it is needed. He will be missed by many.

Linda and family, Jana and family, Debbie and family,

James and I are heart broken at the news of Rick's passing and that we will not be able to celebrate Rick's faithfulness and life with you all on Saturday. Please know you are all continually in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Our church and Mother's Day Out staff are praying for you all as well.

We were blessed to be able to come and spend some time with Rick and Linda a couple of weeks ago and will...
