Hope was one of our family's most favorite people in this world. There was one time up north, we were having a Bowen reunion, and a bunch of us went to play golf. We were in the pro shop and we heard a familiar laugh coming from the bar area. I said, "That sounds like Hope Taylor's laugh!" And sure enough, there was Hope having a cocktail with some friends. And when she saw all of us, it was hugs for everyone! Hope taught me to swim in the neighbor's pool when I was about 5 years old. Hope and Cliff would come down to the lake in the winter and hang out on the ice with the neighborhood kids. I played in the member-guest tournament a few times with Hope and we had a blast! She was my mom's dear friend, but she was a friend to our whole family. Cliff, we are very sorry for your loss. She will be dearly missed. My parents, I'm sure, are having a cocktail right now with her! With much love, Carrie Bowen Kendro
