Nita and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Johnny's enthusiasm and concern for the cause of Christ has been an inspiration to me since I first met him 29 years ago. I regret that I was unable to attend the service as I am currently working in Toronto. I send my deepest sympathy, even while knowing that he is now experiencing the joys that he so often sang about while on this earth.

My sympathy to the family of Mr. Boyd, as I was known to call him. My introduction to your family was around 1962 at the Church of Christ in Mabelvale. I always knew that Mr. Boyd would honor my request for a particular song during the Sunday morning service. He gave me good memories over the years and I am thankful for them. Mr. Boyd will be deeply and truely missed.

Nita, our thoughts and prayers are with you and and the entire family - your children, and Johnny's brothers and sisters. Mom certainly wants me to express her condolences as well. She's always thought so much of him. We all do, but she has wonderful memories of their childhood growing up in Delight and, of course, fond memories are always treasured. Our Boyd cousins are very dear to us and we love you all. I know God is with you and I pray he will comfort you in your sorrow.
