 | Thank You
Please accept our appreciation for your thoughtfulness during our time of grief. The beautiful plant will serve as a reminder of our mother, Mary Ann Bowman, who passed away on May 23. Mom always loved her flowers and gardening; she was especially fond of the brilliant blue blooms of the hydrangea.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
Sincerely,
Pat Bowman and family
