A very kind and caring person. I grew up in the same neighborhood with the Mowry family and have remained friends with them. I cherish a fond memory of Mary offering kind words and a listening ear after I had a break up with a girlfriend many years ago as a young man.My sincere condolences and prayers to my long time friends Mike, Sharon and Scott Mowry.

Dear Mowry family,
I’m sorry that I missed you Mom’s passing. I surely would have attended her wake representing the “Goff” neighborhood family. We want to relay our deepest sympathies and will always remember your Mom’s great smile and pleasant personality.
God bless you all,
