I could never put to words the relationship we had or the things we went through together. I could never imagine what your family is feeling. I could never imagine sitting at your grave and not talking to you out loud, just waiting to hear you make fun...I love you double D and think of you every day!!

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Bo's family and friends. May you all have hope (as I do) from the promise of Jesus to reunite us with our dead loved ones in the near future here on earth under his kingdom rule. Since that will be a time when there will be no more sickness, sorrow, pain, suffering, or death, it gives us a wonderful hope for the future that helps us to keep going. May your love and closeness to each other also strengthen you, dear ones.

I went to High School with Bo. He always lit up a room with his smile and could make the rainiest of days beam with sunshine. What a tragic loss for all. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
