Good memories of Lowell from our High School days. Praying for the whole family as you grieve and that the Lord will bring His comfort and peace,
Lowell,
You are a person the saying “I did it my way” was written for. For the last 23 years we had many ups and downs. Somehow I enjoyed it all. We will miss you.
