I smile when I think of Boseman. I think 90% of the times I saw him he was either wearing something Clemson or that number 88 jersey that we all remembered seeing that smiling face in. I pray for everyone that he touched because I can relate to the loss they are feeling. I know that God has a special place for Boseman and I pray that we all find comfort in knowing that. Boseman, you are missed!

Boseman, this still seems like a nightmare. Although I only knew you for about 6 years, I was able to learn a lot about you in that time. You had a smile that I can still see and it was one-of-a-kind. When you would give me a hug, it was a real "HUG" that showed care and your concern. I'm sure all of your friends felt the same way.You will surely be missed by everyone and although you are not here, you are only away and never will be forgotten. To all of the BOSEMAN family, your loss is too great for any words that I could say. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you daily.

August 22, 2006

I'll follow Chad in saying that the celebration of your life turnout was astounding......... God Bless YOU "BIG B"...we love and always will love you...you loved us and now you are in a higher place to keep an eye on us and love us...

I love you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. There are so many good things that I could say about "Boseman" but the best thing that I can say about him is that he was a pure positive force. His smile and "gentle giant" personality could brighten even the darkest day that you were having. I did't see him often after high school but each time I did, I always felt better afterwards. I will miss him. God be with you Boseman. And God be with you Boseman famiy.

I will never forget "Boseman", his great sense of humor, kind heart, and beautiful, beaming smile. I was lucky to have known him throughout high school. Then some years later, my husband Rory had the pleasure of befriending Boseman via work. Only today did we learn of his passing and we are both devastated. Although we will miss him terribly, we take great comfort in knowing we have a new angel watching over us and our little girl. May God bless and be with you all during this difficult time. We'll miss you, David!!!

JEROME'S PRAYER



From atop the trees and clouds that heaven spent

From each drop of rain with questions sent

Let us not try to understand that which is unknown

Instead be restful that my God has called me home

I couldn’t predict the magnitude of this tragedy

Or the kind words spoken in response to my finality

But rest assured that my smile is on right now as you read

Because it is a message that I sent for all of you to heed

I say "Pay attention to what each other needs!"

I hope you heard me

Now...Godspeed!

Dan and Linda Harless

August 16, 2006

We have wonderful memories of "Boseman".He and Jeff started out in Pee-Wee football, not that David was ever small, and remained friends all these years. His heart was as big as he was, and we truly loved him. We haven't seen him in years, but his smile is forever in our minds. You all are in our prayers.
