Dear Rowen,
This is for you..
You are a beautiful soul, you seemed to love and appreciate the simple things in life on this earth, which are always the most precious. You loved people, animals and enjoyed your artwork ... but like me and so many, you were keenly aware of the darkened state of society on a spiritual level and that this was not your true home. You wondered what it was all about, your art demonstrates that poignantly.
You felt deeply, your talented expression shows it.
You were reaching for something profound and lasting, beyond all this falseness and confusion.
At a particularly low time in my life a while ago due to abuse, I was seriously considering ending it all. I was searching for self-help online to talk to others who were feeling the same way. I saw your story. I am so sorry you were unhappy. I really do understand, I've been there so many times. I was struck by the fact we share the same first name.. with the same spelling which is rare, and my birthday is a different year but same as yours.. 14th September - I felt tears forming and they didn't stop. I knew something far higher was trying to speak to me, to not give up.
Rowen, you helped save me from taking my life.. I will thank you properly one day.
You are still shining as a light from where you are ..and have been to me, another Rowen who feels so alone in this world.
Your art, struggles and the joy you found in life have taught me to keep hope and to not ever give up, no matter how dark the night may seem.
May you soar like an eagle in spirit

We will always remember the day that Rob and I were babysitting Rowen and she fell asleep on his shoulders as we walked in the city. She will always be our flower girl.
Eric, Liz and Ava, you are in our thoughts, we love you.
