The Clock of Life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop- at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own; live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in tomorrow, the clock may then be still. (Found in Grandma's prayer book) Mary Frances Fowler, born on April 21, 1937 and leaving this world June 16, 2013 used this lifetime to encourage compassion and unconditional love. Her primary profession was that of a teacher and her lesson plan centered on the knowledge that our Creator is an integral part of this life. Ever-encouraging, she also spoke truth. She was transparent in her actions and words. She taught that compassion means acceptance without judgment. Relationships are meaningful, and every person holds worth. She had the ability to see God in everyone, and prayer was her foundation. She loved to dance, laugh and play games. She enjoyed life, and encouraged living life on life's terms- that suffering reveals strength, honoring self is honoring God, and love is the ultimate gift we have to share. Give love often, and give it generously. With ease in unconditional love, she touched many and her family encompasses more than blood relations and exists throughout the world. In her honor, a memorial service will be held at South Forty in Billings, Montana on June 24, 2013 at 2:00pm. Arrangements are in the care of Dahl Funeral Chapel and memories may be shared with the family at www.dahlfuneralchapel.com.
