Sending heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the family as you celebrate the life of your love one. May your treasured memories bring solace during this difficult time; she will forever live in your heart. May God bless and comfort you as you grieve this loss.
To the family. KJV 30: 4-5 states:
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. It’s ok to shed your tears, but in the meantime and between time remember your mother has returned back to whom she truly belongs and that’s our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God give you all strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Mrs. Boles was a wonderful person always
smiling and happy. Great wife and mother!
And the best cook her food always reminded
me of being back home in SC. We love her
and will miss her deeply.
Love Etta, and Mark
