I am so sorry for the loss of Boyd. I just couldn't believe it. Boyd was always such a special person to me. He was the only person in the community that faithfully donated to the ambulance service and with me being in that association it meant alot to me. I loved him dearly and he will be forever missed. My prayers will be with all of you during this difficult time. Janet Witt
