Tributes
"spent at lot of time with the entire Owens family. Albert was always a quiet person that was never afraid of work. Remember the summer Albert and my father, Bill Ayers planted 2000 tomato plants. With about 15 kids around, harvest was easy. RIP Albert. Prayers for your family and you "
"We are sorry to hear about your loss we pray that in the days ahead you will be fortified. May these words provide you hope and comfort during this your time of sadness. 1 Corinthians 15:21,22, "For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive." Jesus said of himself that he was the resurrection and the life at John 11:25. May God sustain you all during this time as well. JR"
