My deepest sympathy. KK, I know how much you loved and cared for your Mom. She was a great lady, and a person I truly respected. When she would come to the school it was always with great love for her family. She was so very dedicated to you. Again, my deepest sympathy. You are in my prayers.

My condolences to the family of Carla Boyd, my prayers go out to you. To Kendall Boyd, I do understand what it is to lose a great woman, who also is your mother. But you must remember and accept the fact that this is one loss you will never get over, only learn to live with. Just always remember what she means to you,the love you have for her, and her teachings, and your mother will live in your heart forever, and that is the true meaning of immortality.

To face life's changes, look to an unchanging God for comfort. Have faith in God, although dark your path may be from the saddness of Carla's death; have faith in God, the sun will shine.



I love you all and wish I could be there with you.



Brenda and family.
