Guest Book
Boyd was one of a very few men I have known that who truly lived his Christian faith in all that he said and did. He loved and adored Christine, and will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He and Christine are like family to me. I love them dearly and rejoice in knowing that someday I will see Boyd in heaven, as there is no doubt he now resides with our risen Lord and Savior.
