Our family at Majestic Funeral Home joins with the Bowen family to inform those concerned that Mr. William Bowen has permanently changed his address from Earth to Glory as of Tuesday night, April 17, 2018, while in New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC surrounded by his devoted family.
Moments have been etched in time for family and friends to pay homage to Mr. Bowen. On Sunday evening, April 22, 2018 between the hours of 5pm and 7pm, William’s relatives will receive visitors at Graham Chapel AME Zion Church in East Arcadia. On Monday, April 23, 2018 commencing at 1pm, a Service of Remembrance will take place also at Graham Chapel AME Zion Church. Immediately following the services in the sanctuary, Mr. Bowen’s physical vessel and his cherished family will be escorted to the church cemetery for Committal Rites. As difficult as this is for Mr. William’s family and friends to endure this tremendous loss, consolation comes knowing that God promised to be closer than a mother, father,sister or brother when each of them are no longer with us. If God said it, then that settles it and He will fulfill His promises for this precious family being anything they need just when they need it the most.
