Read MoreMrs. Rowe was such an inspiration to me and all my fellow classmates @ NEHI (1984-88) and provided me with the support & opportunities to pursue my musical passions, which I continue to use today and have passed on to/share with my two sons. Thank you Mrs. Rowe for all you meant and did for all of us.

I had the honor of having Mrs. Rowe as my chorus teacher at Bay Point Jr. High and she absolutely was the reason I believe I continued to go into music as a career. What a positive, wonderful lady she was. I will always remember how she encouraged me no matter what came and I am so thankful for that. God bless her and her family in these difficult days. Thank you.

To have experienced this talented, very special Lady was life changing. Her spirit lives in each student ever privileged to have her as your mentor of music. Mrs. Rowe was my teacher @ Baypoint, an outstanding lovely, gracious person that recognized "Goodness" ❣ Blessing to you Rowe family

What a beautiful and full of life woman. I had her as a teacher for choir at NEHI from 1976-1979 and have great memories from her class. Wendy(Bolvin)Cain

So many years ago, I met Velma... while at First Baptist Church,,St. Petersburg,FL... She was so beautiful... I remember her gorgeous eyes... and bubbly personality... But what I remember most was when she and her future husband Jack were courting ... I was just a little younger... and the Intermediate choir watched the unfolding of a love in bloom... Both with such beautiful and talented voices... and a future with such promise....
I can remember the sparkle in Velma's eyes......
