Not sure what to say?

This is my great grandpa who i loved lots i miss you grandpa george my moms last name is boyles but i have my dads i love you fky high

Many of us in the Forest area (and probably more widespread) experienced the birthday calls, or just occasional calls from Uncle Clemence. A gentle and caring man, he was a long-time member of Forest United Meth. Church, and for several years had been the oldest member there. He set the standard in so many ways for so many. Rest in peace.

Uncle Clem loved life and people. When I was a young boy, Uncle Clem and aunt Ola would visit us often in Good Hope. He always had his long "George Burns" cigar and would grab and playfully give me a "dry shave"(rubbing my head with his fist until I would yell loud enough to please him and make him laugh). I respected Uncle Clem so very much for his dedicated care of Aunt Ola. Together they were a picture of love and taught me how marriage should be. Uncle Clem was an outstanding cook....

Grandpa became my grandpa thought marriage. He always made me feel so special and always took the time to ask about my own family. He was a gentle soul who enjoyed the simple things of life. He actions were life lessons for everyone from how he treated others, to the devotion he showed to wife of 74 years, to his love of family, and his faith. I admire him and will miss him so much.

Love,
Jennifer Boyles

While it is always sad when someone we know has passed, I am equally grateful for the opportunities and the times I was blessed to visit with Mr. Boyles. I always regarded those visits as special and time and schedules seem to not matter for whatever time we spent talking. We talked about family and the "old days" and how much he loved engaging with people. I like to think "they don't make 'em like that anymore". My life has been truly enriched and blessed having known Mr. George...

My dear Grandpa,
You reinforced in my mind the commitment to service to other's to the best of my ability, especially to loved ones, like my
wife as you did for Grandmother for
74 year's no matter their physical
state or mind.
You taught me the importance of loyalty and how important it is to keep in touch with loved ones and true friends. You defined loyalty and the significance of the simple things in life that mean the most.
You were the consummate retailer...

We are never prepared for a death of a loved one it is the hardest things we can go through so please find comfort in knowing sickness, pain and death will one day be no more for this has been promised to us. With my deepest condolences for your loss.
