I was so shocked and sad to hear of Fred's death. There are so many things of this earth that we do not understand, but we don’t have to know the answers. We just have to know that God is Sovereign
I pray for each of you that will FEEL HIS love, strength, comfort, peace, all that He is……. I pray you will rest in KNOWING that God is in control, and sees the whole picture. We see the mountains, but He sees the whole horizon. As you place their hope in Jesus, I pray you will mount up on wings as eagles; run and not be weary, walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed. His mercies are ever lasting and are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-24)
Fred truly was an inspiration to me each time I saw him, whether in Bible Study or at the Friday night dinners. I believe he is now worshipping at the feet of Jesus, the One who loved him enough to die for his sins so that he could have eternal life. What a comfort and blessing to have that assurance, through God's Word.
May God bless and comfort each of you, and meet your every need as you trust Him.
You have my deepest sympathy!
Thank you, Sweet Jesus, for the privilege you give us to come straight to Your Throne of Grace with our prayer needs. And thank You that you hear and answer every prayer, and that your love for us is far greater than any earthly love could ever be.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the family of Frederick Coleman Boyce, Jr. We have only known his son, Coleman, a short while, but we know him to be a young man of great character. Character does not come by accident, and we know that Fred had a great influence on making his son the man he is.
