St. Michael joins with the entire Catholic community of the Eastern Shore in mourning the loss of Rusty Cowles, the 10 year son of Gary and Terri Cowles, and youngest brother of George, Edward and Marguerite. Rusty was a fourth grader at Christ the King Catholic School.
A rosary service will be at St. Lawrence Catholic Church on Tuesday, December 20 at 9 a.m. Visitation will follow, and the funeral mass will begin at 11 a.m. with a luncheon and fellowship to follow.
The family has asked, in lieu of flowers, to send donations in Rusty's name to either Christ the King School's "Sister Maureen Scholarship Fund" (Christ the King School, PO Drawer 1890, Daphne, AL 36526) or to the "St. Michael Catholic High School Scholarship Fund" (11732 Higbee Road, Fairhope, AL 36532). Donations to both schools are tax-deductible, and an acknowledgment will be sent to the family of your donation.
