To the Boyza Family, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My brother, Ronnie, and I grew up with Mike and Johnny. We rode the same bus together and lived so close to each other. As we grow older we sometimes forget to keep in touch with our friends. Your family will be in our prayers. Mary, you will have a special place in my heart, no mother should have to bury both her children. I know this I buried my son. God bless your family and may the angels surround you and your family to protect you and give you peace and love in your hearts and remember the times of joy. God Bless you all.
