Not sure what to say?

Dear Robbie,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad! I will always have the fondest memories of your parents and will never forget them. They always had a hug, a kiss on the cheek and wide smile for me no matter when I saw them! They were also always so very proud of you and would love to catch me up on what you had been "up to". Unfortunately, I also now know how much it hurts to lose a parent...you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
Love,

Robbie,
We are sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Take comfort that he is no longer suffering. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The LaTempa family

We were so sorry to hear that Mr Boyd passed away. He was always in a great mood and had a smile on his face. He had stories to tell and places to go. He will be greatly missed.

Pawpa, you will be missed by so many. You blessed so many with your kindness, smiles and love of life. Granny is waiting for you. Wrap your arms around her and send her our love. Robbie, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
my love always,
Diddle

Mr. & Mrs. Boyd were my favorite customers when I was a waitress at the Golden Corral Steak House in Salem (now Famous Anthony's). Actually they were "everyones" favorite customers! That was over twenty years ago when I was in high school and college and I still remember hoping that I would be so lucky to have a relationship like their's and always be so joyful! I know they are happily reunited today and will be loved and missed by more people than they could ever imagine. My prayers go...

Robbie,
We are so sorry for the loss of your dad. We have many memories of him. Brandon will always remember going to his house and playing with his trains. Arnold was so full of sunshine with a smile that would make you melt. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if you need anything.
Lots of Love!

To the Boyd family
So very sorry for your loss. Your father was truly a special person. He would come into our office for his eyeglasses to be adjusted. He was so very kind and he will be missed..
My thoughts are prayers are with you all.

Robbie,
Your Dad will be missed. We continually have missed him as our neighbor the past couple of years. (We still call his former home "Mr. Boyd's house"!!!) Both your Mom and Dad were an inspiration......they talked about loving the Lord and going to Heaven - that was their goal. I can remember talking to your Mom when she was sick and she had such a peace and joy talking about going to her Heavenly home. It is a joy to know they are both finally sharing that part of their journey...
