The Funeral...





James Boyd, Meghan McDonald, Becky Boyd, Samantha Phillips, and Joseph Boyd.

Aunt Jackie (Mom's sister), Aunt Monica (Dad's sister), Alexandra, Samantha, Meghan.

The luncheon after the Memorial service.Our Aunt Monica, who we had never met before, shared her memories of dad. It was so incredible to hear about his childhood. That was very, very special. We really enjoyed having some laughs while sharing stories and our memories of Dad, I think we all needed it.

 I didn't realize till later that everyone was watching me in the picture. I was sharing stories about my trip to China, back in high school, because Alexandra will be traveling there soon.


Aunt Jackie, Meghan, Samantha

The next day was the burial. It was on the next day because of the travel distance to St. Michael's ( about a two hour drive.) He was buried next to his brother, Edward H. Boyd III.

Footprints...

... I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
