HOW DOES A FAMILY SAY GOOD-BYE
How does a family say goodbye to a sister and daughter they loved so dear?
You no longer live here among us; only sadness and memories are left here.
Your beautiful face matched your inner spirit; you made the whole world smile.
Sisters and brother have now lost a sister and a father his own precious child.
How do we go on with the living, when you can no longer share in the love?
You and we have always fit together perfectly, just like a hand within a glove.
Your laughter and all that was you, always made the gatherings feel just right.
Though our gatherings will be cheerful, they will forever lack your smile's light.
How do we get pass the heartache and the void that your passing will present?
You will always be missed here; your kind of beauty could only be heaven sent.
As the days go by, we shall all remember your beauty and that tender, loving face.
You will never be forgotten; in each of our hearts there will always be a soft place.
We know well the pain of losing a loved one; we have surely been here before.
Even so, it is always a brand new pain when death comes knocking at the door.
We are a family of faith; we trust and believe on the power of our Holy Savior.
He is the comforter in these sad times; His power to comfort will not waiver.
We shall lean on the author of our faith during this our bereaved season.
Heaven always knows what is best; even if we don't understand the reason.
On those days when clouds are thickest, we shall look to Jesus for the light.
Though today the pain stifles us, there shall be another day that feels right.
I say to you Debbie's family, there is going to be a day that your pain will recede.
I have known this pain many times; to go through it you must trust God and believe.
The liquid pain flowing from your eyes is caused by pain that hurts long and deep.
Don't worry… you will remember her; that love and those memories you must keep.
Dear Hough and Bolder Families, it is with the greatest love and compassion that I offer up these words to you.
My prayer is that they will be of comfort during this your present storm of life. My prayer is also that The Sweet
Holy Spirit will comfort you as you go through.
All my love and prayers are with you on this occasion.
God's Blessings....now...and always,
Yours in Christ Jesus,

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of one of the sweetest friend I have ever known. I really enjoyed her spirit and her smile could never make me be mad at her too long. She was a true classmate and friend at Wingate. Her spirit will live forever in my heart, Jay!

Mr. Bolder & Brittany,
I learned of Ms. Bolder's passing last night at a party. I was in total disbelief, I am deeply saddend for you loss. What I will miss the most is the way that Debra could make anybody smile and relax. It was hard to be upset with her around. As you begin to move on with your lives, take pride in the love she was able to show everyone. I will always appreciate the way Debra could settle Jon down when he was having troubles at GCHS, just by spending a few minutes eating a green apple with him in the lunch room. RIP Ms. Bolder You are loved and missed by everyone.

I was shocked to read about Debra's death this past Sunday in Fayetteville Observer. This is so hard to believe. Debra was the most gracious and affirming and flexible and good natured school receptionist to have ever lived! susan caddell

I thank God for letting us see and experience such a beautiful smile. Mr. Bolder saw that smile every day for 31 years. If you ever wonder how beautiful it might be in Heaven just picture that smile glistening off streets of gold. Mr Bolder and Brittany, Heaven will hear your name often from friends and family who love you and from Ms Debra when she asks the Lord to take care you. God Bless.

Mr. Bolder, you and Mrs. Bolder were always an inspiration to me, starting from my 7th grade year at SVJ. As the years passed I was privileged to have remained in your lives. It was always a pleasure to hear of all the accomplishments of the Tiger Band during your visits to Sammio's. I always looked forward to seeing you and Mrs. Bolder (especially on Wednesday nights). You and your family have always meant the world to me and my prayers are with you all.

To the Bolder family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. God in his wonderful grace knew that Mrs. Bolder's work here on earth was complete, the lives that she touched will never be the same for her testimony will always be with us. Mr. Bolder, you have touched us as well and all of our children. May God's grace and comfort be with you and your family in the coming days.
Love,
