Dear Joyce, Mike and Michelle: You have my sympathy on the loss of Lowell. I have a million memories of Lowell as he grew up. His dad and stepmother, Grace, often brought him to our house one summer to play with my brother while they grocery shopped. Fritz and Lowell would pick wild strawberries and eat them as fast as they picked. He look pretty spiffy in his blue Air Force uniform when he came home for the funeral of Grace. He was so loyal in visiting my mother regularly when she was in the nursing home. He always enjoyed good food and wine. I invited him to join me for lunch at Ivy Tech in the student restaurant of the culinary arts department where the food was very professionally prepared and served. May our happy memories sustain us.
