Maureen and Roger Dowling

So many memories over the years we knew Tom and Bonnie, and every one evokes warmth and love and a genuine respect for a couple who did SO much despite starting out with SO little. They truly were a pioneer couple in restoring broken children, long before the rest of society truly understood the long-term effects of abuse, abandonment, and apathy. Tom’s personal experience from his own childhood gave him such insight and wisdom into recovery and restoration beyond the experts in child psychology.
His sermons, his chats when we met him riding his bicycle, or in the hall of church were always so humorous and we look forward to continuing the laughter and joy when we meet again!
