To Jean & the Boddie family, my prayers are with you and I apologize for the late response. Mrs. Boddie was a beautiful person. I help with the Elks Senior Citizen dinner and she had to get a ride. She would not take a ride from anyone by my husband James and she would come in and say to me, "He got me here again." All I can say is "PRICELESS."

Dear Boddie Family,
I had the pleasure of working with your mom. She was fiercely independent and very funny. Debbie, you did a great job of looking after her. May God bless you and take care of you all.

I remember Skee from when I worked at the Denholm building in Worcester. She was such a nice gal. Once, she told me a joke about a penguin and a pair of slippers - and I laughed so hard I spilled coffee all over my dress. Fun times! I'll miss you, Skee! R.I.P.
