    My sincere sympathy to all of the Bowker Family. Your Matriarch was so fun to be around. She will be missed. I remember she used to holler at us all when we were being noisey kids, and then turn around and ask us why were all being so quiet. RIP Mary.

    My sincere sympathy to your family. We will always remember all the fun times with Mary at Lucy Price’s home in New Egypt. I remember her and Aunt Lou crocheting and playing cards. Now they had have fun again.
