Dear Bowles family:

I would like to express my sympathy for the loss of your love one...However we have the hope of the resurrection because Jesus sacrificed his life to make this possible for us (Heb.10:10)...May this scripture among others, such as John 5: 28,29 which also gives us a real hope of being reunited with our dead loved ones bring comfort to your family.

Mr Ric, as we affectionately called him, was a loved family friend for more years than can be counted. He was a phenominal talent and it was always a joy to hear him play. Mr Ric, we love you and you will be missed.
