Uncle boyd was such a sweet man. I will always cherish our memories. I always loved to hear all the wonderful stories he and his brothers would tell us. I especially loved the tale of walking 15 miles uphill to school and then 15 miles uphill to get home. I truly will miss u. I enjoyed seeing u every year at the reunion. May god bless your family during this time. Rip uncle boyd .

Condolences to Boyd's family. Our mothers were sisters. He was my first cousin. We surely miss him. I always loved his stories and am very sorry that we could not get together more often as we all aged. I really enjoyed all the stories that he could tell me about our ancestors. The world was a better place for having him in it.
