To the family of Lank Bowman, I used to work at the hosp./nursing home at Clinton with Lank's wife Erma. She was a precious lady. I know Erma loved her family. Her family was very important to her and her church. I heard her speak of her husband, Lank and the family often. You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. May God comfort you all in your loss.
Sincerely, Martha Mulford
My sincerest sympathy to the family. I knew Lank for years through Petit Jean and thought he was a great man.
