Bernice was so kind to me. One year after my own sweet mother had passed away she stepped in and called me on my birthday, playing me “happy birthday” on her harmonica. I will always remember that simple act of kindness. Farewell Bernice, the heavens are shinning brighter with your sweet spirit.

Judy and Dan, you and your families are very special people. This shows how special your parents were. Judy I know how much it hurts and the hole in your heart. I know this from my own experience. I also know it gets better. You will be able to remember all the good times without tears, you will never forget. The hole in your heart will get smaller, but some will always be there. The knowledge you have of where she and your other loved are, is the biggest blessing you can have. You will feel her presence sometimes and be surprised. My mother died in 1959 and I still feel her near many times. I know God blesses you and your family, you are in our prayers.

My heart is broken and I miss you so much. I feel the loss of my momma so deep in my heart. I sure miss your daily question, “did I get any checks in the mail” and was so happy to tell you one day, “no but I did” and we laughed our fool heads off. I have such wonderful loving memories of my childhood, well, except for weeding the garden but that wasn’t your doing. You showed how much you loved us in how you treated us every day. All the special little things you did to make us feel important. You gave us unconditional love right before you put us on restriction. You went about your life in a quiet non-demanding way and you left us in the same manner. Never wanting to cause a fuss or create extra work for anyone. One thing that stands out to me is the way you thanked everyone for everything they did for you. Even when it was difficult for you to speak you still tried to say thank you. What a shining example you have been for me. I am glad for dad, Jan and Nina but so very sad for myself, Judy and Lonnie and all that loved you. Some day our family will be together again. I can’t wait. Well, I guess I can wait a few years! Love you to the moon and back momma.

I was able to speak to my grandmother on her last day here on earth… It gave me strength.. I said to her, “Grandma, thank you for all your love, strength and hard work here on earth and for my mother Jan Marie Boykin.. You did amazing Grandma, I love you..” She said to me, “thank you my little Frankie, thank you my little Frankie..” I will forever miss her, my Grandfather Clint Merrill, my Aunt Valjean, and my loving Mother Jan Marie Boykin… I love you all and now know beyond any doubt ill see you again.. I can see you, i can hear you and I forever will feel your love in my heart and mind… Thank you Grandma again for your strength.. I love you

My little bitty Grandma, I am so happy that my mom very gently told me to drop everything and get home to see you before your surgery. I am so grateful that I got a chance to spend some more time with you before you left us. I’ll always remember getting you spiffed up for your 91st birthday dinner the night before you went to the hospital. I have many good childhood memories of playing on the tire swing in your front yard, family parties, and grandma hugs. I am happy for you to be where you are now but we sure do miss you. Until we meet again. Love you!

Grandma, I will be so very, very grateful for the rest of my life that I got to spend this summer with you. I got to know you better than ever before, and learned so much about love and life and faith from you. I, like Ben, always looked forward to you and Grandpa arriving early to family parties, bringing your baskets full of homemade candies and treats. Christmas just won’t be the same again. I am so blessed to have had grandparents who lived good, honest, hard-working lives who were such examples to me of dedication to our faith and love for each other. I want you to know that even though our matriarch is gone, there is still a lot of love in this family, and we will take care of each other. I look forward to the day when we can all be together again. I love you so much.

Grandma,
I have so many memories…Having you always be the first one to show up at the parties, playing in the orchard or climbing on the big tree. I always had to race out of the house in order to watch the train go by way up on the hill, and it seemed like every time I walked in the kitchen, there was something for me to nibble on. I will miss having to almost kneel down to hug you. I know you are so happy now being with your other family that you have been missing so long. Love you Grandma!

My Little Momma, It was a great privilege to have you in my “Mother in Law” apartment and care for you in your last days. We laughed together a lot, especially when giving you a shower (which you dreaded like the plague) I remember, I one time wished that I could have been your mother, to have prevented your tough childhood and given you the care and love that you craved and deserved, and that you always gave us. Little did I know, that my wish would come true, when I brought you to my house and tenderly cared for you in what turned out to be your last few months of life. You were the most thankful and thoughtful little thing, always asking if you were too much for me to take care of. I got the chance to show you my love as I cared for your needs. You were the best nursing job I ever had! I will love you forever. Will you say Hi to Daddy, Valjean and Jan for me please? See? I am having you do errands for me even in death! Made you laugh!!
