Dear Dr. Lowder and Family - I would like to share a song with you that I believe will bring some comfort to your family. I had the opportunity to meet your son several times while he was employed with Perry Engineering. I found him to be a little shy...:) and very respectful. I lift you all up in prayer during this difficult time. I Believe When I see the sunrise in the morning When I feel the wind blow across my face When I hear the sound of children playin' I know its all part of Gods amazing grace And I believe that there's a place called Heaven And I believe in a place called Calvary I believe in a man his name is Jesus And I believe that he gave his life for me I was there the day my Mama went to Heaven I held her hand as she closed her eyes to sleep I felt the power of ten thousand angels Take her soul away to be crowned at Jesus feet And I believe that there's a place called Heaven And I believe in a place called Calvary I believe in a man his name is Jesus And I believe that he gave his life for me And I believe that he gave his life for me "A group called Southland sings this song" Kindest Regards; Vickie Good

To all the Lowders - I was so very heartsick to hear about Andy. I remember him as an energetic, smiling boy with a shock of blond hair and a mischievous look in his eye. I know he will be greatly missed, and lovingly remembered. Love, Tammy

Betty Saunders left a message on April 4, 2014:
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Andy this week. I had the privilege of teaching John, Daniel and Andrew PE at Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School and what fine young men they were. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. There is an Irish saying that I love and I hope it brings you comfort - Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. God Bless and heartfelt sympathy, Betty Saunders

Dearest Gina, and family: Even though I have known you for such a short time,it has been plenty long to know how kind and caring you are! You have shown me sweetness and concern for my well being, and encouraged me in my tough times. I hope you realize how much that means to me and I love you for it and for your honesty and truthfulness.I will continue to lift you and yours up to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am here for you, to listen and cry and laugh and share. May God continue to show you how much He really does love and care for you and your family.

On behalf of all us who worked with Andy during his six years employed at Perry Engineering, I extend our deepest sympathy. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. God bless all of you.
Debbie Galloway left a message on April 3, 2014:
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thoughts and prayers. I will never forget the blond haired little boy standing in the yard and asking if the "boys" can play. With his beautiful eyes and sheepish grin he won my heart. Elliott and I have laughed and cried remembering their mischievous adventures. We are so sorry we cannot attend Andy's service but will be there with you in spirit. God Bless each of you in your time of sorrow. The Galloways, Debbie, Charles, Elliott, Ashton, Brooke, and Scott
Tony and Fonda Harris left a message on April 3, 2014:
Gina and John, There simply are no words to express our sadness at this time. We shall never forget that you came and shared your supportive love during our family's darkest time. We would be there with you now if we could, but we know you understand that is impossible with our current situations. We lift you and your precious family up in our prayers for you, asking that God will hold you close in His arms so that you may experience His powerful mercy, Grace, love, and compassion all the days of your life. We love you! Please do not hesitate to let us know when and how we can help.
Allen and Lori Feaster left a message on April 3, 2014:
Dr. Lowder and Gina we are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son "Andy". It has been a privilege to know your family since 1989, when I became a nurse at the office on Cork Street. Gina I remember when you would bring Andy and his other two blonde-headed brothers into Dr. Lowder's office, so that you all 5 could go out to lunch together. That just seems like it was yesterday. We are praying that God wraps you and your family up in His arms during this difficult time. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Steven and Tricia Johnston left a message on April 3, 2014:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. We were Andy's friends and neighbors and we loved him very much. God Bless him and protect him. And watch over you and your family during this time. Love Tricia and Steven Johnston and furry children.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Dr. Lowder and family...I am so very sorry for your loss. I am keeping you and your family in thought and prayer during this most difficult time.
Betty Bensenhaver Fisher left a message on April 3, 2014:
I wish I could choose the right words to tell all of you, Gina and John, and Andy's brothers how very sorry I am. I can only know Andy through working with both of you. Dr Lowder, I have worked with you so many years and have such a great degree of respect and feeling of friendship with you. Gina, I worked with you for a brief time at Surgi-Center and know you as a great nurse and loving mother. So many people are praying and concerned for all of you. Please let us help if we can.
