CT Family,
Thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart for the love and concern that was showed me during our terrible time of loss. Miles seperated us during Mikes brief illness and death, but I knew that you were with us every step of the way and the pain was unbearable for you also. I always felt this and knew you were there for us. It was so meaningful for us here to have you guys at the Memorial in FT Worth. I know it warmed your hearts to see the love and kindness Mike gave to his fellow man the short time he lived in Ft.Worth. He got to live his dream for a short while and I know he was happy doing this. He loved you guys dearly and thought of you so very often.
I was so honored to be his wife for 34 years and to carry on the Gowens name. I love you all with all my heart and pray for me to be strong and have courage.
Thanks for all you did in Crosbyton for such a very lovely service, Mike would have loved it.
I will see you guys soon.

Love always, Eletia
