To the family of Ms.Owen, I am so sorry for your loss. Just from reading her obituary I can tell she was a great person. Seeing her Christian background I want to leave a scripture with the family to offer comfort at Job 14:14,15. God is longing to ressurect your loved one because he too loved Ms.Owen. I hope this brings the family comfort.
