Leah Norton says
To Mrs. Bower’s family – we are so very sorry for your loss. I have two daughters at Mary Castle. They both love reading and love the library/media center. My sixth grader worked with your wife/mom on a regular basis to produce the video announcements. Both Addy and Livy (my daughters) were so saddened to hear of Mrs. Bower’s passing. Your mom/wife supported and impacted our children. We are so grateful. We will miss her smile and help so much next school year at Mary Castle. We are praying for you! Again, we are so sorry for your loss.
