    Love and hugs for the family. I sure will miss Aunt Wuanita and her fabulous sunbuckles…she gave me the recipe, needless to say mine did not look or taste like hers. She put her whole heart into those sunbuckles.

    Mrs Bowen was a great mentor in my life. She kept me in the church and her heart and soul was in every song she had us sing in the Faith Lutheran Church youth choir

    She will be greatly missed

We would like to personally thank Brian for what a warm, compassionate funeral you arranged. You always put our thoughts first and answered and responded to my many phone calls about everything. The artistry of the belongings of our son was amazing. Everything was so beautiful. So many people complimented on how the arrangement was set up by you. We as a family will never forget what you did for us in our time of need. Thank you very much Brian.
