Carole, Family, and Boyes Cousins,
Words cannot express the loss I know you are feeling now. Being with family today just reminded how quickly life goes by unnoticed until a day like today. We must learn to value everyone and everything around us. May Art rest in peace and may you find comfort in God's arms as time goes by. With deep affection
