Grandma Bowers

This past Monday December 20,2010 we lost Brian's sweet Grandma Agnes Blair Roach Bowers. Although she was Brian's grandma....she always treated me as if she was my grandmother. She was such an AMAZING woman!! She passed away at the age of 93 and had been married to her sweetheart Judd Bowers for 72 wonderful years. She had such an inspirational outlook on life and was such a great example of service.

Brian and I had the opportunity to go down to Arizona in June and visit with her and grandpa. It was so nice to see them and it was very hopeful to see that they were both so active at their age. It is so refreshing to see such an exemplory example of love and support and I feel that if Brian and I can be in love like they were....we truly can make it through anything. I hope that in seventy years we can be as happy and in as much love as they are.

She had a very fulfilling life as a school teacher and later after she retired, she continued to tutor children. Just a couple of years ago, she was honored by the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Ageless Heroes for her contributions in the Love of Learning category. She absolutely loved the outdoors, whether it is the beauty of Alaska or the serenity of the Arizona dessert. One of her favorite things to do was to hunt with Grandpa and her sons. She recently went on the deer hunt with Grandpa and when she was in the hospital over the weekend, she mentioned that she was hoping to get her strength up so that she could go turkey hunting in April.

She loved to golf and up until October when the weather stopped cooperating, she continued to golf. Brian has many fond memories of golfing with her along with many other activities they did together. Along with that I will cherish the memories I have of her and Grandpa as well.

We Love you Grandma Bowers and you will ALWAYS be in our hearts and memories. As much as we will miss you we know that you are in a Beautiful place in Heaven and hope we will get to see you once more.

We know that it will be difficult for grandpa to adjust to life without her there, but we know that he is a strong person and will get through this difficulty. He is still very active and as much as we know that he will long to be with her again....we do know that one day they will be together in the eternities. We love Grandma and Grandpa Bowers SO much and we will miss grandma very much!!
