The Bolling Family was such a strong presence in my life, worshiping at Main Street Methodist Church and being a neighbor on Wellington Drive. Mr. Bolling consistently showed that he was interested in what was occurring in my life; He was so kind, and such a gentleman! He was blessed with a fine family, and he will truly be missed.
What a comfort it is to know, that in time, we will reunite with our loved ones!

Mr. Bolling was a client of mine for well over 35 years. During that time, he was always a gentleman, and it was a genuine pleasure to call on him and know him over the years.
