To the Bowers Family -
It is with heartfelt sympathy that I acknowledge the passing of your husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend to all in the East Savannah community. I remember Mr. Bowers as a quiet spirit who worked very hard to support his family. I pray that God's GRACE will overshadow, comfort, and sustain you, and that memories of a well-lived life will replace tears with smiles. For we all know that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."

With Love...Luci (Lucille) Emerson & Family of East Savannah
