In loving memory of our husband, father and papa, Jim Bowser, who passed away

four years ago, December 5.

Ready or not, it all came to an end.

How was the value of his days measured?

What matters is not what he bought,

But what he built;

Not what he got,

But what he gave.

What matters is not what he learned,

But what he taught.

What matters is every act of integrity,

compassion,

courage or sacrifice that enriched,

empowered or encouraged others

to emulate his example.

What matters is not his memories,

But the memories that live in those who loved him.

He truly lived a life that mattered.
