Our family made our acquaintance with Mrs. Lowe a little over eleven years ago through her daughter, Audrey. The ensuing years have revealed the story of a woman who was strong, who did her best under adversity, who loved her children and tried so hard to give them what they needed. She was patient in suffering, and she endured much. She was a good cook, and even when she was no longer able to stir about in the kitchen, she loved watching cooking shows on television. She loved pumpkin pie (something she passed on to her youngest daughter!) and if Audrey and I ever took that (or any dessert, for that matter) to the nursing home, anything left on her supper tray would go untouched so that she could eat what was "important!" We didn't manage to get in often enough. It's a good trek to Millsboro from Milford, and it's been extremely difficult for Audrey to see her beloved mother so incapacitated. But every time we went, Mrs. Lowe's love for Audrey would be so evident, often spilling over the edges of her eyes and trickling down her cheeks. It's a wonderful thought to think of her out of her pain, out of that confining bed, and free and whole. May your family experience peace and comfort and may she rest in Peace.
