Charla,
I want you to know that I am sincerely praying for you and your family during this time. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and Lean not on your own understanding. In all Thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.Proverbs 3:5-6. Your son was an amazing young man and it is very obvious by all the lives he touched. Although you are closer to Jen and Kelly please know that if you ever need to talk I am here also. Any friend of theirs is a friend of mine. Thinking of you.

My prayers go out to the Richardson Family on the homegoing of Lil BJ. No parent can imagine the pain that your heart is feeling, but I know that our God will comfort you and bring you peace in the midst of this storm. My daughter has known BJ since he was in middle school as they met when we moved in Reynoldsburg, she has always had nice things to say about Boycie and everytime I saw him he was always pleasant, respectful and had that beautiful smile on his face. God was ready for him to light up Heaven with his smile and called him home. My you celebrate this young man's life by remembering his legacy. God Bless you all. Another Angel Gone To Soon.

I am truly thankful that God gave me the opportunity to get to know Boycie as a student, as a basketball player, and most of all as a person. I will always remember the way he lit up a room with his smile and his outgoing personality. Although it's extremely difficult to come to grips with the passing of someone so young with so much potential for greatness, at times like these we must have faith in our Heavenly Father and we must take solace in knowing that BJ is in a better place and is now pain free. Prayers go out to the family and loved ones.

I worked with Boycie briefly 4 years ago and what a spirit he had. I was so impressed with his genuineness and sincerity as a man in this life. I'm not impressed with a lot of people but Boycie was amazing. I knew he was special and I was honored to have known him and happy we had the conversations we had. God bless your family and prayers always.

In the depth of his hopes and dreams lied his silent knowledge of the beyond, and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow, Boycie's heart dreamt of Spring. He trusted in the dreams for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Only when he drank from the river of silence that he indeed sang. And when he's reached the mountain top then he truly began to climb. And when the earth claimed his limbs, THEN HE TRULY DANCED...
