I remember seeing Mr. Stowe at the Nursing Center when my Mom was there. He was always quiet, but, would smile and nod his head as we passed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and I pray you all find that peace that passeth all understanding.

I am so sorry about the loss of Stokey. My Dad was in the room with him for 3 years at UNC. He was a nice man that always thanked you for any little thing you did for him. He deeply loved Carol and Gene... they were so faithful to him.
