Bonnie, Craig, Pam & Steve: Our family wishes to express our sincere sympathy in the loss of your Mom. She and your Dad were great neighbors to our Dad, Bill Boyle. During the course of his recent illness your Mom continued to look after him, checking in on him and even preparing meals for him. We know your Mom greatly missed your Dad. It was reflective of her character to look after those neighbors around her, even though she herself was greiving the loss of your Dad. God bless you all in working through her loss. We know you will miss both your Mom and Dad greatly. - Mary, Bill, Ed, Mike, Ann, Bruce and John Boyle

Eva was my friend, Nena Walker's best friend and running buddy! Everytime I've visited over the last 5-7 years - I've seen Eva and gone to church with her. I remember so vividly having a fantastic brunch with her and Bill after Bryan (Nena's Son) First Holy Communion. Her stories were interesting, funny and she was a joy to be around. My trips to Richmond will be so very different without a visit with Eva. She touched my heart with her loving kindness. Take comfort in knowing she is in Heaven with Our Father and once again sharing Happy Hour with her love, Bill. God Bless You All as you go through this difficult time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
My dearest Nana, may you Rest In Peace. Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Steve, Stephanie, Caleb, and all family members: I am truly sorry about Mrs. Taylor. I found her to be very friendly and a very good cook. You can't help but to look at her face and know she lived a very happy life. She had a lot to be proud of with the four children she raised. She lived a long life which is something not many of us get to do. Don't be sad. Be glad she had the happiness she had while she was here on earth. Her life will live eternally with your Father which I'm sure is one place she most wanted to be.
With love,
