Family~ Losing Mrs. Bowe feels like the wind has been knocked out of all of us. Nothing I can say or do can remove what you're experiencing right now, but I do know you are strong, and she will forever be with you in spirit. Remember what she has instilled in each of you. Thank you so much for sharing her with so many people. Her catering will be missed by the Journey team; she put the Pomp and Circumstance in many graduations. She is gone but will never be forgotten.

She loved herself some blue crabs and was waiting for me to bring her some more of the big crabs we get in Ft. Myers but we have good fun memories from the last time we were together eating crabs.

My deepest condolences to the family of the late Ms. Lily Bowe, I had the great pleasure of working with her while working with the School Board of St. Lucie County and from events held by the class of "68" which my mom and Mr. Kenneth Bowe were classmates. I never got the chance to get around to get my pound she said would make for me. Just know you will be truly missed.
