I had the amazing privilege of knowing Dutch when she lived at Mt. Carmel. Every time I went in her room she was listening to her country music. She loved it! She loved to talk about her family and where she grew up and what her parents were like. She was so independent which made her stubborn sometimes! I'll miss seeing her smiling face and her easy going attitude!!
Rest In Peace Dutch!!
This woman changed my view of the world. She was our matriarch & our comedian. Her ability to tell a story will forever be unmatched. Her patience and calm demeanor were so wonderful - Anyone who knew her knows how special she was.
Granny/Dutch/GG...We love you so much. You will never, ever be forgotten.
My heart and prayers go out to the Cowling family. It was my honor and pleasure to call Dutch my close friend of over 3 years. She inspired laughter and always lightened my heart. She will be deeply missed and forever honored!
I was honored to have a part in Ms Dutch's care here at Mt. Carmel. Her beautiful personality could light up a room!! I'm sure she's playing (and winning) the biggest bingo game ever right now! Love you, Ms Dutch!!!
sure going to miss that BIG Smile when i would kiss you goodnight.....we are sure going to miss you at Mt. Carmel, but happy for you.
Our prayers go out to the Cowling family during this time of sorrow. I got to know Mr. & Mrs. Cowling when they lived in the trailer on the Ozan highway. She was a fun person to be around and had a very sharp and witty personality. I know she will be missed.
Condolences
to The Harvey Cowling Family. Dutch was great neighbor and Friend of our family. I was told many time she gave me my first bath, of course I don't remember it.
Jerry, Leota, and Bob
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the fami.y.
My deepest condolences to the family. Losing a dear loved one can leave a very empty space in one's life. Please find strength, hope and comfort in the God of Comfort (1 Corinthians 1: 3,4).
Fly free as a bird and give Papa a kiss for me Granny.
I Love You
