Rest In Peace. I will miss you… Love Kim Wilson
Thank you for your loving care of YaYa. She was always so happy to see you. Yaya will be watching over you Kim.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
~Amen~
Thank you Larry for this beautiful prayer.
My deepest sympathies to Vicki and the entire Boyatzies family. I have many happy memories of the good times that I shared with Lois.
Thank you Larry for this beautiful prayer.
Thanks Aunt Linda. Both my parents thought very highly of you.
Heaven gained Another Angel. I know that’s supposed to make you feel better … and it’s true. But knowing how impeccable you took care of your Beautiful Mom in her Final Years of her life should be THE Only Thing You Feel ABSOLUTELY. PROUD AND GRATEFUL FOR. You provided her with continued Love and Dignity till her last breath!!!! Someday we’ll share MOM EXPERIENCES!!! I miss mine EVERY MINUTE . But know as I do with my precious son and mom … I carry them with me every second no matter where I go …and I know you will too!!!! Love and Prayers sweetheart. I’m here …a phone call away
Thank you Suzanne for such kind and comforting words. We are lucky to have such caring neighbors on Pond Valley Circle.
My prayers are with the entire Boyatzies family. Family is the key word here. George spoke of family all the time. His love for his family was expressed constantly. When I finally met the “boys” I immediately knew why. His love and devotion to Lois was an everyday part of George’s daily conversation, not often found today. Everyone can learn from this family. Her memories will be cherished by all.
Thank you David for such a beautiful remembrance of my parents.
