Where I have gone, I am not so small. My soul is as wide as the world is tall.
I have gone to answer the call. Of the One who takes care of us all. Wherever you look, you will find me there. In the heart of a rose, in the heart of a prayer. On butterflies' wings, on wings of my own To you, I'm gone, but I'm never alone
I'm home.
We know you lived and enjoyed life to the fullest. We walked, talked, laughed, and ate together. Those are moments we will never forget. Rest in peace and we love you mom. Your children, Kenny, Mary, and Ike
The Boler & Ford family extends a heartfelt appreciation for the many acts of kindness, and words of comfort during this difficult
time. May God bless each of you.
