To Catherine and the Bowry Family,

Catherine, you will not remember me, but I was a close friend of Rae's and all of the Bowry family. Spent many a day after school and quite a few sleep over's there. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. You have been through so much lately and hope God gives you the strength to carry on.

I bought the home across the street from the Bowry's at the beginning of the summer. After experiencing multiple storms and power outages, they took me under their wing as if I were their own. I have known (Mr.) Joe for less than 6 months, and in that time he was the best neighbor that I could ask for.

(Mrs.) Connie my thoughts and prayers are with you this holiday season and always. I am always across the street.

I bought the house across the street from the Bowry's earlier this summer. During the storms this year, they took me under their wing as if I were their own. They always checked to make sure that I was ok. Although I have only known (Mr.) Joe for less than 6 months, he was a great neighbor, and he will be missed.

(Mrs.) Connie my thoughts and prayers are with you this holiday season and always. I am only a walk across the street.
