Were so sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. I haven’t seen her since about the year 1937 or 38 at her Father’s farm in Plainwell. Dick Cowels called advised us her possible condition. After all these years it is so sad to see and hear about the passing of the original Cowels family. Our numbers our slowly diminishing. May God Bless Her and all her siblings. May Her Soul Rest In Peace. With our deepest sympathy, Bob and Jan Cowels. 1395 108th ave. Otsego, Mi. 49078

Sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. She was a very special lady. I so much enjoyed waiting on her and Glenn at Brown’s Family Inn years ago. They were the nicest couple and came in every morning. She will be missed.
