Add A Condolence

Valerie and Nicole and other family members, I am Aunt Lossie (Aunt Bunch) niece Juanita (Nene) - the daughter of Lessie her sister. My heart is heavy to learn of the passing of my first cousin Junie (Bee). We use to hang out together a lot when we were teens but as we grew older and had families we grew apart. Valerie and Nicole please accept me and my family condolences on the passing of your husband, Nicole's father and my cousin. My prayers are with you and the family. I am also praying for cousin Cat.🙏

Our deepest condolences to the Owens and Fleming Families,

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of William R. Owens, Jr., husband of our cousin Valerie. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. May your memories bring you comfort.

-Cheryl Fleming Hall and Keith "Butch" Fleming

I never met a person that didn't know a stranger until I met Mr. Owens. He would strike up a conversation with everyone and talk to them like he knew them for years. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Owens for 8 years prior to his retirement and he loved to laugh and joke. He always said laughter was the best medicine. He talked often about God, his family, and the BBQ in North Carolina. He was an avid Cowboys fan and caught slack because of it but always had a funny comeback and you could hear him coming from a mile away because he loved to whistle. Mrs. Owens, my family and I will continue to keep you and your family lifted up in prayer during this difficult time. He may be gone from sight but the memories will remain in our hearts.

Our condolences to the Owens Family.
