Todd and Alan sending my thoughts, prayers, and sympathy to both of you on the loss of your mom. Janice was a 1966 Bentworth classmate of mine and a co-worker for many years at Canon Mac.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Bowman was my 1st and 2nd grade teacher (two years in a row) and I absolutely adored her! She meant a lot to me, and checked in on me when my mother passed away when I was in High School. She was a wonderful lady, and I remember her bright personality waving at all of her students with her bracelets jingling as she did so! Sending prayers.
