It will be one year on Tuesday since you left us on earth. However, I know that you are in the heavens with Lisa and watching over everyone. I will always have a special place in my heart for you Boyd - that beautiful smile and your love for Larry and Randy. Please tell Lisa that she is one lucky woman and I wish both of you rest in peace together ~~ Denise

It has been almost a year Boyd since you left us to go home to God and Lisa. You were such an amazing person and I miss you. I smile through my tears when I think of you being by my sister's side and holding her hand. I can't wait for the day when the whole family is back together as one-Open the gate for me Boyd and Lisa and Daddy when I get there. Until then-I love and miss you 4ever and always Boyd, We will see you soon. Tell Lisa her grandson is BEAUTIFUL and looks just like Melissa!!
4ever missing you,

I LOVE YOU BOYD ATWELL.
I miss you every day Boyd. You seem to always be on my mind-You loved my sister so much that you had to leave us to be with her again. You stayed with us for 1 year, 2 weeks and 1 day after Lisa went home to be with God. That my wonderful brother was true love-of that I am sure.
Love you Boyd.

I think you all know how much I loved Boyd-he was just like a brother to me. Rhonda was right when she said that he loved my sister Lisa with all of his heart-that much was true... I still can't believe you are gone Boyd. I love and miss you very much and I will think of you every day. God bless your family.

To the family of Boyd Atwell,
We are so sorry for your loss. Boyd was such a special and thoughtful person and he will be greatly missed. Boyd loved my sister Lisa with all of his heart and strength, and though we had the pleasure of knowing Boyd for only a short moment in time, he touched our hearts in a very special place. May God comfort you and hold you close.
God Bless,
Rhonda & Roger Todd

The funeral was yesterday and and I still can't believe Boyd is gone. Even though I only knew him less than a year, he was - and always will be - a very special person in my life. I know he is with Lisa now and has that beautiful smile on his face. Rest in peace my friend. I'll miss you forever.
