Thank You From Andy Bowne
On behalf of my family, thank you for all of the calls, emails, flowers, visits, and attendance at the funeral. I am reminded of the beauty of family, as I am now the latest member of the GRCC family to feel its love and support. My mother was a “lifelong” learner, a (Montcalm) Community College grad, and very proud of the work that happens at GRCC. She knew that education is the key to individual, family, and community health and vitality.
Thank you.
Andy
