Mrs. Boggs was like a second Mom to me during my teenage years when my parents were in Israel. I was so blessed and grateful to have visited with her a few years ago while visiting DC with my husband. She was truly a genuinely sweet woman of God.

I cannot even begin to say what she meant to our family. She was a spiritual mom and mentor as was her sweet heart throughout our adult and teen years. We love her so much. She is and always will be a part of our family and look forward to seeing her again in heaven. One of the most gracious, loving, caring, compassionate women I have ever ever know. I LOVE YOU MS. BOGGS forever
