Mrs. Bowden, Charlie, Carol, Kristin and family, We love you so much and are so sad that your husband/father/grandfather has passed away.  We could always count on a big hug, kiss and genuine interest in how we were doing and what we had been up to, plus a funny line that would bring a smile and a laugh.  He was one very special man and very much respected and loved.  We know you have great memories that will make you grin, laugh or maybe shed a tear, but fortunately memories have the power to remind you that love as yours will never go away.  We hope you wrap yourselves up in those memories and we pray you find comfort in remembering Mr. Bowden's touch, voice, his precious, sweet smile and his love.  He loved you so much.  You mean so much to us and we hope you find comfort, strength and peace knowing that you have friends that share your grief and hurt.  We'll miss him.  Love, Danny, Cheryl and Chandler

Charlie Boy, words can barely express the sadness I feel about losing your father, my second father.  Firstly, let me say I'm sorry.  He was such a wonderful man and I loved him.  He was always there for us. From  Boy Scout outings to youth fellowships at Rich's Inlet to giving me my first job at the convenience store on Carolina Beach Road, he was always an important fixture in my life.  He and your mother always made me feel like I was part of the family and for that, I'm honored, grateful and lucky.  Everybody didn't get to experience Mr. Bowden the way I did.  I'm so glad I've got great memories of him, for he's been in my life for as long as I can remember.  Charlie, I will truly miss him and I know how bad this hurts.  You, Carol, Kristin, your mama and the rest of the family will always have him in your hearts...and I will too.  Love, Danny

I am sorry I will not be able to be there in  person, but do know I will be thinking  of Uncle Donald and Aunt Joyce. I have a lot of good memories of them when I was growing up.  He and Aunt Joyce were always good to me.  I will never forget the good times.  Takecare Aunt Joyce, Remember I love you.  I promise I will get to see before too long.  Love Margie

So sorry for your loss. God is love. Love never fails. Love endures all things, hopes all things, believes all things and bears all things. 1 Cor. 13
