I ONLY KNEW WILLIAM FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT HE WAS ALWAYS SO NICE AND FRIENDLY TO ME AND MY MOM. HE WAS TRULY AND SPECIAL PERSON. I KNOW HE WAS IN BAD HEALTH AND WAS HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS LATELY. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS BUT TAKE COMFORT IN KNOWING HE IS WITH THE LORD NOW. GOD BLESS YOU

We are so sorry about Mr. Bowman's passing. I am sure that Cheyenne met him at the gate; he told her a joke; and she rolled her eyes. God bless your family during this most sorrowful time. Love, Dee & Graham.
