Dear Paul and all of the Bowers Family,
Paul, I have fond memories of fun times spent years ago with you and Lu playing bridge. I will always remeber Lu’s gentle, positive personality. I don’t recall her ever saying an unkind word about anyone. May God bless you and your family at this difficult time.
Fondly,

Dear Bowers Family,
My sincere sympathy to all of you on the passing of Lu. I am Joan’s sister-in-law so I have known Lu for a long time. She was always so much fun to be around. If I lived closer I would certainly give my condolences in person but this is the best I can offer at this time. I will pray for all of you while you walk through this difficult time.

My condolences to the family of Lucille Bowers. Lu was my mom’s roommate in Trillium Place. She was such a sweet person. I had the privilege of meeting her husband Paul who was also very special person. Many prayers to the family🙏🙏
