Not sure what to say?

Dear Nancy--
Not sure if you are still checking this site or if you will remember me, but this is Laurie Morrow McGee....I was the flower girl in yours and Bob's wedding! My dad, Bob Morrow called me tonight to let me know that a friend of our from Erie tonight to tell him of Bob's death. Please accept deepest sympathies from our family. I will always remember Bob's kindness to me as a little girl and your hospitality to our family when we visited Hawaii! If you receive this, please...

Dear Rowley Family: I had the great fortune to know Bob in Navy JAG in the early 70's and in the early 80's in Honolulu after he had entered the priesthood. He was a wonderful man and i remember him fondly. I am saddened by his loss.

What can I say? He was a giant among men and he was a true friend and comrade in arms and in God.

Nancy, Wally and I want to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Bob was a great guy. We enjoyed knowing him, and his contributions to the law, his church and to the Erie Philharmonic were great.
Sincerely, Wally and Gloria Knox

May Bishop Rowley rest in peace and rise in glory. I served as a priest in the Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania from 1986-1991 and had great appreciation for the deep, biblical, yet down to earth spirituality of Bishop Rowley. May his family find comfort in his legacy of love and service and knowing that he lives now with the Lord he knew and served so well.

What a lovely tribute to a wonderful man. His loss will be felt by many for a long time. May Bob rest in peace and rise in glory.

Aloha Oe Dad Rowley. Until we meeet again...

We are very sorry to learn of Bob's death. We are grateful for his ministry and remember him fondly. You are in our prayers.

Nancy,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. May your grief be replaced with all the memories of life well lived. Love and prayers.
