SOARING ABOVE
.
Some day I will soar
Far above any stars in the sky
At the call of God we will go
Higher than the eagles can fly.
The trumpet will sound
And we'll be on our way
To our mansions on streets of gold
What a wonderful day to behold
We'll leave this earth so quick
It will be in a moment of time
Like the twinkling of an eye
We'll be changed to new bodies so fine
The joys that await us there
Are too numerous to mention
Most are beyond our thoughts of care
Too precious to be imagined
Though we long to see the lost redeemed
And win them we will try
Our heart ,to the Savior screams
Even so , come Lord Jesus, we cry MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE LIL BO

Janie,
Hold your head up. Let the tears flow. I weep for you and with you. As a mother of a teenage boy growing up in this city, I know the difficulties. However, I don't know your pain. That's why my heart aches. No mother should know or ever experience that pain.
I pray that you know the love of Jesus. I pray that He will grant you His perfect peace.
Please hold on to the hope of glory to see you through. Your baby boy waits for you on the other shore.
Peace and Blessings,

Dearest Janie,
Please accept our sincerest condolences. Even though I have lost loved ones in my life to death, I can relate to an extent to the youth of Ken being lost. Please remember that Almighty God has Ken in His memory, and all the smiles, winks, and love is being well taken care of. Rest in the hope that soon, all of your pain and suffering will seem like a distant memory, and you will have the opportunity to see Ken again in the near future. (Isaiah 25:8) Love all of yours unconditionally, live for the treasures of today, and laugh remembering all the good things Ken has left to you.
Warm Christian Love,
Eric & Michelle Strange

I didn't know Bo to the point where we would speak everyday but i saw him a few times and took pictures with him at the party and just seeing everybody that i know that was so close to him hurts me. He seemed like the type of person I would've wanted to know. I usually don't take part in things like this for people I didn't know that well but Just being around Bo and the people who knew him well made it like I knew him..I'm sorry for your loss and I know it hurts but just remember God needed your Baby Boy to keep the peace between the little knuckle heads he got up there with him now. Bo is safer and happier now than he could have ever been in this sinful world..

To the family,
I know this is a very difficult time for yall and an even more unexplainable pain to endure exspeacial for Ms. Janie. There are really no words that could be said or anything that could be done to ease the pain in your hearts. So i just want yall to know that i'm going to keep each and every one of you in my prays. At times you're gonna smile and remember how great of a person Bo was and all the times he made you laugh, than there's gonna be times where you cry and may feel like giving up so when that time comes just remember Bo is in heaven watching over you and would want you to know that everything is going to be ok and not to give up just yet because you will see him again. I am very honered to have not only knew bo as a person but as a friend. He knew just what to say to put a smile on a face and knew how to be ears when you just needed someone to listen, he was my friend. I loved him very much and will always remember him for such the wonderful person he was....GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTON KENNY "BO" TOWNSEND GOD'S NEW ANGEL I LOVE YOU!!!

The Bible says To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
My heart grew heavy when I heard about Bo. He was a student on my bus when he attended Grand Park. Bo was a bright young man with a bright future ahead of him. He was a leader and not a follower. He was one of my students that would help keep the peace on Bus #883. Bo will be truly missed.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of Ken "Bo" Townsend. May God give you strength and comfort in these trying times. It is my prayer that he gives you peace that surpasses all understanding.
Family and Friends just hold fast to the good times that you shared with him. I will never forget all the days he would get on the bus in the afternoon and just break out with a freestyle that just had the whole bus vibing to it and just made the time on the bus peaceful and fun. Bo was just that type of person. I know God has a reason for everything he does and his reason for this will be manifested to God be the Glory!
May God Bless and Keep this family as they weather the storm of this tragic lost.
