Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Romans 8:38-39
    For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  2. It’s hard to believe he’s gone. I knew him from kindergarten until I moved after the 9th grade. It was never a boring bus ride to and from school. This world will never be the same without him.

  3. I am saddened to learn of your loss. Know that your strength is in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Certainly l am available if l can be of any service to you or other loved ones. I will be lifting you up Boyd and family.

  4. I didn’t know the family but as I read the obituary as a Christian I like the one with the Roman 8-38-39, and that is a fact. God Bless this family. Amen🙏

  5. Dear Lynda and family, I am so very sorry for your loss and wish there was something I could do to ease your pain. Jared was a nice looking young man that I hadn’t seen in years. Always cherish the memories you have as a family and remember the good times. Love and prayers from your cousin.

  6. To Boyd, Lynda, Laura, Varien, Darrius, Sarah and family, our hearts are so grieved with you! We are so sorry for your great loss! Jared is no doubt loved so greatly by each of you! May our most loving heavenly Father wrap His precious arms around each of you and surround you with you goodness and grace! We are so sorry for your loss! Praying for each of you! As Paul wrote in Romas, keeping you in constant prayer!

    With all of our love,
    Chris and Cherith Conner

  7. “When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.” –Anonymous
    My thoughts and prayers to all who loved him.

  8. Boyd, I’m sorry sorry to hear about this. I can’t imagine what you must be feeling. I pray that God’s grace and comfort touches you.

  9. I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to fathom the death of a child. My prayers will be with your whole family.
