Still think of you so very often and your glorious voice is still in my memory which makes me feel truly close to God. Dear Boston, you and Jane will always be loved and deeply missed.

You are always in my heart and memories and think of you almost every day. You were my spiritual leader, confidant and family friend. Your magnificent voice will always resonate in my head. God bless.

You are always in our hearts, thoughts, prayers and live on in our memories. A truly remarkable gentleman and spiritual leader. Love and miss you and will always be so grateful for having had you and Miss Jane in my family's lives. God bless you dearest Boston.

19 years after your passing you are still in my daily thoughts and prayers. Prayers of gratitude that we had the blessing of your being our spiritual pastor during our formative years, for supporting and loving our parents and community.

Boston will truly be remembered as such a good soul and good man! Both he and Jane played an important role in our lives growing up and was a true source of comfort when our parents died. He married Andy and I in Christ and Grace and baptised both of our sons there as well. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all. As Rick said in his note, your parents were such a comfort to us when we needed it most. Boston was an incredible spirit and a permanent fixture in my childhood memories. In all of the craziness then, he was the one steady light. We loved him and we'll miss him.

Jano,

Your parents meant so much to us at so many points in our lives from growing up in the church, through our parent's deaths, to officiating at our marriages. If I've ever known an embodiment of Christianity, it was your parents. Please know you and they are in our prayers.
