What a beautiful person.   I remember when they were the young inspiration moved across the street from us as a child.  Know that the Lee Family will continue to keep The Family lifted up in prayer 🙏 


My condolences to the Boatwright family. A few year ago 2 of my children were in the care of Mrs. Boatwright, and it was truly a pleasure knowing that they were in good hands. It takes a special person to take on the responsibility of childcare and Boatwright was truly a special person. Again, my deepest sympathy. God bless.

Nat:
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss.  It has been a long time, but I have kept up with your progress-from the project where we grew up, to the asst. pastor of a fine church is an amazing path.  Jean and I are in prayer for your peace and comfort.  Be well, my friend.

SISTER BOATWRIGHT ALWAYS USED TO JOKINGLY CALL ME HER BOYFRIEND...SHE WAS ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE THAT I HAVE EVER MET...HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN A LONG TIME, BUT I UNDERSTAND LONG TERM SICKNESS AND PAIN...AND SHE'S IN A PLACE WHERE THAT IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE...I WILL SEE HER SOON..AND I THANK GOD FOR THE MEMORIES

                    STANDING 
Don't stand at the door and look for me. Look to the clouds and see me dancing by.

Don't stand at the door and look for me. Look to the stars and see me twinkle my eye.

Don't stand at the door and look for me. Feel my touch as the wind go by.

Don't stand at the door and look for me. But look to heaven and you will see me.

I'm standing at the door and who do I see? I see my Father standing at the door and looking at me. I hear Him say I've been waiting on you Sandra please come on in.

My family has known Mrs. Boatwright and most of her family for many years. We spent countless hours together and my siblings and I share tons of memories, all good! Most of them very funny! It's funny how our lives go in separate directions once we really grow up and leave home. Every time I saw Mrs. Boatwright, I saw Mr. Boatwright. I mean every single time. I know she is missed right now but I also know that she loved her family and friends but most of all she loved God. We had not been in touch like back in the day but she called every so often and vice-versa. I will definitely miss her laugh, I can hear it right now. Mr. Boatwright, your family will stay in our prayers hoping it helps to get you through the pain of her loss and we are here for you but I know you all will be just fine. We love you so much and we are so very sorry for your loss.

Sandra was God's gift to so many, her memories are blessed and as long as we harbor those precious memories, she will live.  Nevertheless, she fought a good fight, she finished the race, she kept the faith and has now taken her place in the silent halls of death where "the wicked cease from troubling; and the weary be at rest."

Sandra was such a lovely person who will be greatly missed.   Our heartfelt condolances to the family.

Sis. Boatwright (mom) was an awesome and wonderful person with a great heart. She will truly be missed. Her & brother Boatwright (father) are some remarkable people.  She will be missed. 

Love,
Erica Lewis- McGrady & family

May the family have peace, and know Sandra loved you all. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. I appreciated you so much when you kept my first born as I returned to work. You were so kind and loving. Put all my worries to rest and I thank God for you.  Remembering you and your loved ones today and always. RIP Sis. Boatwright

A Beautiful Spirit - My Mother in Law who taught me (along with Papa Boatwright) that once in the family -always in the family bonded in LOVE. My heartfelt condolences to my family. Mama Boatwright left a dynamic legacy - she's smiling and what a smile she had. I will forever treasure the words of encouragement along with the laughs we shared. My sincere prayers are being offered to GOD for the family and many sorrowing friends.  Peace be with everyone who reads these heartfelt words.

Your light will forever shine on..."Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength" Mark 12:30

It was an honor to have met Mrs. Boatwright. She was such a humble and sweet person. In her presence, you couldn't help but feel the Love of God.  God gave her the love of children and I witnessed it in her family childcare business. This is how I met her.  I always admired her determination to be the best family childcare and she was!! She strived to educate the children in her care and was a high quality program!!! I remember when I heard that she and her BFF, Mrs Mary Morris, had gone back to school in their 60's and had obtained their Associate Degrees!!! I thought "WOW" this is a commitment to EXCELLENCE!!! Many lives have been touched by this wonderful woman. To her family I encourage you to continue your mothers and grandmothers legacy. God bless you and strengthen you during this time in Jesus Name.

I am so sorry to hear of Ms. Boatwright's passing.  She offered me such encouragement when I was having a difficult time and I was so happy to have met her.  I know she will be greatly missed.
