Not sure what to say?

Ms.Boyce was my 3rd grade teacher at Logan elementary school. She was my absolute favorite teacher. I remember many things about Ms. Boyce she was so very loving and encouraging to all of us children. One unique thing I remember about her, granted it may have only been the year that I had her but she had these bracelets must´ve been 20 of them or at least it seemed that way because I was a child, and every time she wrote on the chalkboard they were jingle. It was the most beautiful thing to...

We have lost a most beautiful friend, educator and mentor. My children who are now 30 and 24 continued to visit Ms. Boyce who inspired so many young students to achieve academically and socially. My daughter who is a high school math teacher says that she now has an angel looking over her everyday to guide her in her teaching decisions.

One the best people let alone teachers in this world. You were always there when anyone needed you, and you will always be with us.
Thank you so much for everything you have done.

There are so many wonderful things I will remember about Mrs. Boyce. I loved my 5th grade year in her class and have thought of her fondly over the years since. She will be missed greatly.

Mrs. Boyce was the one teacher I will never forget. The memories forever clear. Mrs. Boyce taught my brother and myself, our favorite teacher. My mother still has our trophies from the "Wiz" and various artwork we created in her class. Mrs. Boyce was a family friend, an inspiration, a gift from God. I'm blessed to have shared a piece of her. She is truly missed.

Just another grateful parent from Logan many years ago. She was the best! Hugs and love to her family. Alice Thomson Smatsky

you were the best teacher I've ever had and I thank you for that. I will miss you lots.

"Saddened" does not begin to express the overwhelming surge of emotions. Our relationship evolved from colleagues to confidant and friend. Bonita was a quite force and a touchstone for the Logan community. During my brief tenure at Logan as the interim principal, daily I would witness Bonita poring out her heart and soul into EVERY STUDENT! Yes, EVERY student can learn. I, the principal, was taking notes from Bonita, the master teacher. There was no "achievement gap" in Bonita's...

You will forever be immortallized in the magical ways you taught my girls to become women.It will be impossible to replace you, however,as I'm sure you're still teaching at a grade of the devine.
