I didn't think it would be the last time I saw you for sammy's birthday last year. It's been really difficult to not have been able to see you more often, living so far away. I thought I had all the time in the world to come give you a big hug and kiss. I wish I had taken off of work more often. I wish I had called more. But I can't dwell on that. I'll keep my head held high just like you taught me to do. I love you big as the sky, twice as high. And I'll always remember your positive energy and timeless smile.
Dear Sweet Lisa & Family - GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IN YOUR LOSS! Lisa we worked the old 1upper/State Hospital years ago. We had a blast! You are in my heart & prayers. Stay well.
My heart is so heavy. As I've looked through his photos on FB, the two things that stand out most are his love for his children and grandchildren and the fact that he was always smiling. I know the pain of losing a father and I just pray that God will provide comfort and peace to all of you during this time. Love you!
My last remaining sibling. It's really hard to put in words the emptiness I feel. He was too young for this to happen so soon. I feel so alone now. I know Lewis, is now with his Savior and joins the rest of my family in Heaven. See you all soon on the other side.
Me and kenny are sooo very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine but know that your family is definitely in our prayers...He was a lucky man to have such great children that loved him.
Dr Lisa, I'm so sorry to read this sad news. May God give you the strength that you need for the days and weeks ahead. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My Condolences to the all of the Boykin Family.Your in our thoughts and prayers.
We are praying for all of Lewis' family for the tragic and sudden loss of their loved one. May the Lord wrap you all in comfort and healing. May you find understanding in His promise of spiritual life everlasting, that through Christ, there is no death. Lisa, we love you and are here for you, should you need us.
Jesse and family, we extend our sympathy for your loss. David & Liz
