You will be truly missed by so many. My dad always had such loving stories about how much his sister Vi took such good care of him growing up. May you rest in peace with all those we love and have lost. Xo Lily & family x
Don’t think of Vi as gone away, her journey has just begun. Life holds many facets, the earth is just one. Just think of her as resting from the hardships and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of all those she touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much. It gives me great comfort and joy in knowing Vi and June are together again, because June missed her sister so much.
Rip aunt vi..
My friendship with Vi (and Bob) originated when our careers crossed paths. We spent 15 years together under the umbrella of Louson-Desonite Inc. But our friendship extended far beyond our professional life and lasted over 40 years. Vi was the epitome of a classy, intelligent lady, dedicated to her family and the best friend anyone could ask for. And yes, her cooking and baking was the very best! The Bowen family will always hold a very special place in my heart, Love and miss Vi Sincerely, Ruth
Our deepest condolences Jim and Jeanette and family. It is so difficult to lose a parent but find comfort knowing she is at peace. Hold onto all the wonderful memories of earlier times. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Sending you love and healing. ❤️
