So sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing that those who have died, to God are as good as alive. A good name is better than good oil and the day of death is better than the day of birth. Eccl. 7:1

I didn't know Mr. Boulware, but if his daughter and son, Bobby are any indication, he must have been a wonderful man. Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Rest in peace. The Novak family.
