I couldn't have asked for a better Father In-Law. Bo treated me like his own son with love and respect. You will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Bo's death. I have said many prayers for Bo over the past few years. I met him twice at Mary's home. We had a nice meal together, which he had even helped to make. Mary always was telling me of the things he did for her, how sweet he was, how he liked to cook,and what a hard worker he was. Please accept my condolences.
