Last week we made a sad trip, driving to Liberal, Kansas, for a funeral.  The young 40-year-old woman, Kelly, who was our goddaughter, had died suddenly.  Kelly was the daughter of Charlie and Connie Bowman.  Charlie was a friend of John's since he was growing up in Castle Rock.  At that time, he had helped out at John's family's funeral home.  After college, John became a policeman in Boulder.  When Charlie finished school, he was a policeman for a while in a Denver suburb.  Later, he went to mortuary school and became a funeral director.  Kelly married Mike Hornung and they bought a funeral home in Liberal, and Charlie and Connie moved there, supporting the purchase and working in the business.  It is located in the town where Connie grew up. After the funeral mass, Kelly was buried in the Restlawn Cemetery.                                      ...
