Dear Dolly Parton, Family and Friends,
I will always cherish meeting your Uncle Bill while visiting Dollywood during the summer of 2012.
We spoke briefly and shared a few family story commonalities regarding my childhood, greatly inspired by love the of country music and the Grand Ole' Opry!
I was so impressed by his kind words and caring personality.
That day made a big difference in my life!!
May God with be you as you reflect on the memories of
your loved one and a beautiful earthly soul well lived.
Rest in peace Bill Owens.
You so deserve to be in the Father's arms with your heavenly crown!
