I am so sorry for your loss of a special person in all of our lives.
I grow up with your family because I only lived short way from you.
I have so many wonderful memories with you all. I remember while in high school going up to watch the children while Lowell and Frankie went out. I think it was so they could go square dancing.
Just know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Lowell. He will be remembered lovingly in our hearts and the family and friends in our prayers.
It was a joy to have him as our family's neighbor.
We are so sad, right with you. So many good memories of our families spending time together. Loved the years of going back and forth between our home and yours on Sundays. (There was root beer, Robin, honest)
State fairs and your impromptu music in the evenings pops up too!!!
Lowell was such a good friend to dad. We are all blessed to have called him our friend. We need more good, honest cowboys on this earth, but God got this one.
Our hearts hurt for you so much- Franke, Randy, Robin, Cole and your families. And special sympathies to Marge, Edith and Mary. While this isn't the way Lowell would have wanted his last few years to be, he now really is gone and the hurt is deep!
Our love
