Lowell was such a special man. He dedicated his life to Clay and meticulously watched over our finances along with the MANY other duties he and Mary took on. He was a great thinker and a wonderful adult Sunday School leader. Never heard a mean word from him. I am sure that Heaven is rejoicing to have such a man there. May God bring your family comfort in the coming days knowing you are in a better place. Love, the Smith family
