I send my condolences to the Boyd family. I know as well as our heavenly father, that it’s not easy by no means to lose a dear loved one. Thank goodness for our loving memories and the future promises recorded in the bible at Psalms 37:9,10 so that the resurrection promise can come about at John 5:28,29. I hope this can be of great comfort for your family.

ANN, AND MY DEAR NIECES AND NEPHEW–I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. THROUGH THE YEARS, BILL AND I HAVE ENJOYED EACH OTHERS GROWTH IN LIFE AND UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHERS FEELINGS. I AM STILL DAZED WITH THIS, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL, DEEPLY SADDEN WITH HIS PASSING. HE NEVER WANTED TO BE A BURDEN ON ANY OF YOU, SO HIS QUICK DEPARTURE LEFT MANY WITHOUT A GOOD-BYE; BUT ALWAYS HOLD ONTO THE IMPRESSION HE MADE AND THE LOVE HE GAVE. MAY GOD TAKE HIM HOME SAFELY AND BRING PEACE AND LOVE FOR EACH OTHER INTO YOUR HEARTS….. AS ALWAYS, FIORA
