Hello familia and other readers. I not only would like to share with the mourning of this time, but also share my own personal experiences with my dear Tata. I had grown closer with him in the past two years than I ever had. At least once a week I would make an effort to contact him and share the newest developments of our favorite sports teams. This activity helped him to stay active. He was an exceptional man with many talents that he was too humble to share with us. I will miss him greatly and our little bets!! For those who did not have the pleasure of knowing James Boyed they should just try to understand a man full of humor, good taste in music, a veteran, and someone who was admired by many. I share, along with the rest of the Miller family, deep condolences for my Boyed family and appreciate you keeping us updated through the rough times. God bless and know that we all loved Tata dearly and will miss him. Love to all,
