I had no plans at all! From the first call to Dale Groce, letting him know of Jerry's passing, he was at Carepartners Solace in 20 mins. He was greeting everyone, and his compassionate nature was overflowing!! He said they would be there, no rush to plan, just to let him know when we were ready. That made the whole process for us to plan just open up. We met, planned as Dale's professionalism was evident from the start. He listened as we talked, taking notes, and asked us to tell him about Jerry. Dale Groce and his staff were Amazing!! They helped us turn a very sad situation into a wonderful celebration of Life. We are forever grateful for Groce Funeral Home. 10 isn't high enough!
Susie and the entire Bowman family. I was so saddened to hear of Mike's accident. I have known him since '76 through work and other business endeavors or our love of cars. He was always one of "those friends" that no matter how long it had been since you had talked...you picked right up where you left off in your friendship. Always ready with a smile, or funny story, many of which from your joint history. I can't help but feel partially responsible for his love for the Sunbeam Alpines he gathered over the years. I remember well his face the first time I took him for a ride in my Triumph TR6 with the top down up 191 out of Bent Creek Hardware's parking lot. He grinned from ear to ear. That grin met me every time I saw him afterwards. Heaven is richer and we are poorer for his untimely passing. Know that your family has my prayers at this difficult time.
