I will never forget hugging him for the first time and how he called me Miss Wanda. I am praying for your entire church family in agape, Wanda Clary,RN Atrium Health

May God sustain the family in times like these. I will always remember Bishop as a freshman at East Lincoln High. He would run to my class every day with those little gym shorts on because he knew that if he was late he couldn't come to my class so he wouldn't take time to change. Now he is resting with Jesus. Thank You God for one Bishop Franklin Lowery. Your earthly work is completed. Family hold on. God will bring you through. Wanda Cates

Words can't express our sorrow at the loss of Coach Lowery. Our community has lost a great leader, and even better human being. Abbey hoops was at its best when Coach Lowery was involved. Always with a word of encouragement, a great story, or a life lesson. Maybe we didn't think about it much in the moment but, 30 years later, I think about his profound influence on my life. He made me a better man and for that..... I will always love him. Rest in peace Coach L. Mike and Annette Ellis

Coach Lowery will be missed! I remember all the good times at Belmont Abbey and playing basketball. He was always comforting, understanding and positive. I will always remember all his kind words with a strong voice! We met in 1998 and he has been apart of my life since. You are gone but will forever stay in my heart and memory! Love always and forever Tony Crawford

He always had a encouraging word every time I saw him. One day he said to me "John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her," I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die". Our prayers are with Sylvia and your precious family during this difficult time.
