Ms. Cowan was referred to me several years ago when I needed childcare for my daughter. She was the best and treated my child like she was one of her grandchildren. She kept my baby for almost four years until she started kindergarten. My daughter is now a freshman in college and still remember her time spent at Ms. Cowan's house with fondness. Ms. Cowan was even there for me through the loss of my mother and always had an encouraging word to share. She will be missed. My sincere condolences to the family. Thank you for sharing your mom with us and our children. Lakia A. Warren and family
