Obituary of Lis Willow Lowry

Please share a memory of Lis to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Our little angel, Lis, has gone on to be with Jesus.  Today, for the first time in her 6+ years, she is walking and talking and laughing.  Lord we give her to you, although we know she has always belonged to you.  We know you’ve had a plan for her, just like us, from the beginning of time.  We will choose to be thankful for all the days we had with her, instead of being bitter about the days we will not get to have with her.
 

Memorial Service: 2 pm Tuesday, Gateway Church, 700 Blessed Way, Southlake.

Memorials: In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the Samaritan’s Purse for Operation Christmas Child. 

Her life on this earth was short, and trying at times.  She battled through health issues since birth that are more extensive than those experienced by most 90 year olds.  However, she loved her family, and her family loved her.  She loved ceiling fans and music.  She sang this past weekend in her own little language during worship on Saturday night at church.  She loved her big sisters and craved to be with her mommy, although daddy would suffice in a pinch.  She was always happiest when mommy held her, and so she passed away in her loving mother’s arms on Friday.

Her difficult life circumstances brought about friendships we will always cherish, and never would have experienced without our little Lis.  We are so thankful for those people she brought into our lives, and so thankful for those friends and family who have loved her, and been so supportive of our family.  Nancy has been an angel for us, and cared Lis for in such a loving way.  Russ and Stef Chase and their family have been so helpful with dealing with Lis’s challenges, but more importantly they are good friends.  The Littler family have been such good friends, and Joanna has been such a good friend and trusted advisor for Priya.  We’re also very thankful for the Long family, who have remained great friends and trusted confidants for us.  I am so thankful to God for all of these friends.

I have always believed Lis’s life has a purpose,  and I believe that purpose will continue on, whether it’s in the people Lis brought into our lives, or in the parts of her little body donated upon her passing.  Her life allowed me to see the absolute inner beauty of my wife.  Priya has shown a level of compassion and care with Lis that amazes me.  She cared for Lis’s every need, every single day.  It was far beyond a full time job.  I know she was tired and discouraged often with all the tube feeding, poopy diapers, vomiting, and sleepless nights, but she never complained and never quit on our little girl.  I am so blessed to have her as my loving wife, and our girls have been so blessed to have her as their mommy.

Lis’s life has helped develop a sense of compassion in Liv that is rare for an 8 year old.  Seeing her clean up her sister’s messes without complaining makes me so proud of her, and I am so happy to see Priya’s traits being handed down to her.

Please pray for peace and comfort for my family in this hour.  I don’t expect the road ahead will be easy for a while, but we will cling to God and each other in the coming days.  We will hold to Romans 8:28 that says all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

We will rejoice in knowing we will meet her again someday in Heaven.
