To My Sister,
One of my favorite memories is of you is at Christmas time..How you decorated  your home,and gave me recipes like cherry dearies.and colorful casseroles.Leah and I made cherry dearies a Christmas tradition for many years.You gave me photo’s of me when I was little,and of Mother and Daddy as you would call them, when they were young, as you knew them and I didn’t,you told me stories about them and my brothers,You know history of our family that you were always willing to share. David still remembers how you made a fuss over him when ever you saw him.We too, know each other, more then I even realized.

Dear Lisa and Lori,
May your most cherished memories of your Mother,(My Sister),,give you peace and comfort in the days ahead and keep her in your hearts forever ,as I’m sure you  will be in hers.

Having just learned of Bobbie’s passing still has me in a sort of shock – I haven’t seen her in several years and wasn’t aware that she was ill.  My sincere condolences to the family… I will keep you in my prayers.  God rest her soul.

Dear Lisa, Lori,
Thank-you so much for allowing me to get to know your mother.I really enjoyed taking care of her and just listening to the stories she told. She was so proud of tommy and katie.I know she really enjoyed my baking. I’ll never forget the 1st time I met her. She tried to be real tough on the outside and I knew the first day she was someone I would like. So sorry for your loss,

Sincerely
Jamie Sine

Lisa and Lori,

I remember Mrs. Bowman as an intelligent, creative, resilient woman who lived life on her terms.  I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Love,
Lisa

Dear Bobbie:
When I was born, you were there and when I die, you will be there too. You and I know each other. It’s as if you were a lighthouse to ships at sea.   You’ve been to me my guiding light for all that I could be. Adrift, alone, a child, I was without a course to plot. You gave when I could not. The journey, started way back then and I feel my thoughts deep down inside. They hurt. I found a friend, in you, who shared her thoughts with me. We were as close as two friends could be. As close as you and Blue. You cared for life and what’s to be. You cared enough to see me through cloudy days and now I share with you, my Sister, the heart of a little man who now puts out to sea, again. Forever, shall your light shine for me. God, I miss you Bobbie!

Dear Lisa, Lori, Ed, Katie, and Tommy-

Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.  I have many memories of your Mom (Grandmom) that will always make me smile.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Robyn (Hill)

To Lisa & Lori,
    Jim and I were so sorry to learn of the loss of your mother.  Although we did not know her well, we are certainly aware of the sadness and sorrow you are feeling now. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Blessings,
Wanda & Jim

Lisa and Lori,
My deepest sympathies to all of you.  Your mother was a dynamic, force of nature who left her imprint on this world.  I have many fond memories of entertaining evenings in her kitchen listening to her outlook on life. 
Your devoted care during her illness was admirable. She was so fortunate to have you both. 
My thoughts are with you.

Peace,
Amy Sahm

My condolences to the entire family. I wanted to let you know that I’m still thinking and praying for all you. It was a pleasure meeting all of you and an absolute delight to have known Mrs. Bowman. She has taught (and entertained) me, more than she will ever know. She was and always will be one of those special people that are "tops on my list" for a variety of known and unknown reasons. She was a most unique woman and will never be forgotten. I wish all of you well on the rest of life’s journey.

Sincerely,
Nadine

To Bobbie’s Family,

My sincere sympathy to Bobbie’s family. Bobbie and I were friends and classmates at Edward Hand Jr High School. I knew her Mother and some of her younger brothers during that time. She moved to Manheim Township, we kept in contact for a while but then went our separate ways. I saw her out and about after we both got married, but we never restarted our friendship. She was a great friend and lots of fun in Jr High School. I have fond memories of Bobbie. I loved her beautiful long blonde hair!
Sincerely,
Yvonne (Doster) Mitchell

I am so sorry to hear the news this morning.  I have so many fond memories of Mrs. Bowman.  I will always treasure the Christmas Eves, the ham salad and the discussing of movies – old and new.  She was a very special lady and I will miss her unique sense of humor and outlook on life.

My condolences to the entire family.
Mike Dvorchak

Lisa and Lori,

I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s death.  You are both in my thoughts and prayers.  If there is anything that I can do, please feel free to call. 

Love,
Jeanette

Lisa and Lori,

Your mother was such a positive influence on all of us and was one of numerous parent figures who helped to shape my thinking as a child.  I’ll always remember her "illustrationy" Christmas card displays and off-beat sense of humor.  My deepest condolences in your loss.
