I think of Buddy often! Every now and then when I think of Buddy, a saddened pang hits my heart when I remember. Nothing can ever be said to lighten the deep sadness. The Boulineaus' will always hold a place in my heart, and Buddy holds a special place as I viewed him almost as a son. Yours and Buddy's son I know brings you joy beyond words and keeps Buddy even closer to you and the family. Know you are in my prayers Dawn!

I am thinking of you all the time. Frank raised the frequency in every room he entered. He made me laugh, giggle, and hold my hand over my mouth in the good kind of way, which is one of the best gifts I could ever receive. To quote Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." He made me feel awesome and gave me laughter, which is so precious. He is a remarkable soul and I want to remember and preserve that forever. I love you all very much, and please know you are never alone, his presence will always be with you in another form, although it hurts, he wouldn't want that for you ever. All My Love, Mandy Grauel

Our entire family is very saddened to hear of the loss of someone I can truthfully say was always warm, kind and an open soul whom we spent many times talking at Jack's Grill. Wesley speaks often of Buddy playing with him such as locking him in the freezer. He loved the attention of a big brother guy like Buddy. He always would stop and spend a lot of time catching up when we ran into each other. Buddy's manners and respect were so admirable. Our hearts are with you. May God give you peace in knowing you raised a gentleman.

So many good times, so many memories. Buddy lit up a room. So handsome and kind. So full of life and spunk. I could never get mad at Buddy, or be sad or mad around him. He was always the class clown. He made friendships and lasting impressions on anyone who had the privilege to meet him. So genuine, so sincere. You stole a piece of my heart the fist time we ever met...(our first day of pre-k at Risen Christ) and you took a big chunk of it with you when you left this earth!!! Rest sweet and easy my sweet sweet Buddy! You will be missed my friend!!

No words gave me comfort when I lost my father, it was the quiet and dependable presence of the people who cared enough to be there during my grief, to sit with me through it. Mr. Boulineau, you were one of those people and I am grateful. I will humbly be with during this time, as you were for me.
