Sis. "B", Linda, Wanda & Kenny, Ryan and other family members:
My buddy, Bro. B, was always there for me from childhood through adulthood. I will always remember our foot races at church picnics. He was always found faithful serving God and His people. I have warm and beautiful memories of our times together. I remember his work as a Trustee at First Church and the period of time that it was my task to prpeare busines meeting financial reports from his records in the little black book in the Trustee's office (smile). As children "the crew" rememebers him as a Deacon and role model during baptism and feet washing in the basement at the old church, and in so many other areas. And who can forget the spirited dicsussions in his Sunday School class?!
I love you Bro "B" and miss you already.
Well, he lived to dwell eternally in the presence of the Lord. He is where he wants to be.
Sis. B you and the family know you are in my prayers.

Be encouraged and rest assured that "...we will see him, we will see him, we will see him in his beauty over there...in His likeness we'll behold him, He for me is waiting at the portal..."
Praying for you!

My condolence goes out to Deacon Bowman’s family. It was a pleasure to fellowship with him in the Senior Adult Sunday School class. His fellowship was an inspiration as he was a devoted Sunday school teacher and student with a sense of humor. His legacy of Sunday school being the place to ask questions and learn the word of God will be remembered. Deacon Bowman, I promise to feed the “Camels” and obey the word of God. I have explained to my grandson, “God needed his humor to heaven.” Know that we love you and you will be missed.
