As many have said previous ... I have many fond memories of being in "Mrs. Bowden's" class except for those many times when ... ahem ... I was spoken to for talking a little too much.

Mrs. Bowden, you will be missed by all, especially for your sense of humour, wit, warmth and the love you possessed in your teaching ability.
I had the pleasure of being one of your students many years ago and throughout the years that you taught me, you never once made me feel I was any different from the other students. I will miss your commitment to your life's work.
There is a saying.
Born a Teacher / Made a Teacher.
The difference between the two, one possess the love for the job, the other is the pay.
You in every way were born to be a teacher, for the love you had to give not only poured into your profession, it also reflected on the closeness your family and friends have come to know and love.
May you continue to teach our little angels in heaven! They do not get any better than you!
Rest In Peace, My Teacher, My Friend!
Theresa Cornell MacNeil
I am so sorry to hear about your mother and I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Your mom will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. Love always, Jen xo
Dear Jim, Rose Marie,Jim, Lisa, Johnny, Bobby, Quinten and Helen: It is with sadness that we extend our deepest sympathy to all of you at this time. I have many fond memories of your mother. We shared many laughs together and I always enjoyed her stories. She had a great sense of humor. She was kind. Often she treated the staff to her delicious fudge and melt in your mouth donuts. She would even take in all the ingredients to whip up a macaroni soup. We could smell it cooking all over the school and couldn't wait till lunch time to dig in. What a treat! To say she loved her family is an understatement. She revered each and every one of you, and delighted in every new born grand child. You each will have your own special memories of times shared with her. Thank God you have each other to say "Remember this". May God bless each and every one of you through this journey. Regards, Donnie & Sharon Landry
Rest in Peace, our thoughts and prayers are with your family today and always. Anthony, Theresa and Margaret
Dear Jim and all the Bowden family, I was so shock to hear of the passing of Lorraine. My thoughts and prayers goes out to all of you.

Now we have another angel watching over us. Sorry I won't be able to make the service as I'm away. May god bless you all and give you strength through this sad journey.

Jim, Rose Marie, Jimmy, Johnny, Lisa, Bobby, Helen, Quinten & All Your Families: We were saddened to hear of Lorraine's passing. Having lived on Bennie's Lane for so many years, we all knew Lorraine very well. She was an amazing lady. I was fortunate enough to have visited her a few years back with my sister Jeanette. We were able to talk of old times, laugh and joke around. For all those who knew Lorraine, she was like that to everyone. She had a great sense of humor, laughted or joked alot and was all about family, cards and love of bingo. I am sure she left a bit of herself in many places. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all. May you find peace in knowing you have a special angel in heaven watching over you all. God Bless you all. R.I.P. Lorraine. Love: Linda (Irene & Willie's Daughter) & Peter Samson Brampton, Ontario
