Connie I am sorry for your loss. I remember you and Tom fondly buying Mary Jo’s property and building your beautiful home. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. JoAnn
Connie,
We are deeply saddened by this heart felt loss. We remember fondly the good times PJ had with Clint and how Tom, and yourself, treated him like another son and included him in so many things. We were saddened when you moved from Lawrenceville as it was harder for the boys to get together. We send our love and thoughts to you and Clint and praying the God’s peace comforts you as you try and move forward.
As a fellow Arborist, I always sense the loss to the community when one of ours departs to the big tree in the sky. I understand the challenges and the rewards to those who persevere in this career, I am certain Mr. Cowart experienced an abundance of both, as most of us do.
I felt compelled to express my respect for Mr. Cowart, and sympathy to his family.
