I have known you all since I've been a little girl."Boonie" as we called him adored his baby girl Resa. He was very over protective over his family. Now he is with God who will give him peace. Boonie now knows that his family is in good hands. You will be missed.

You and Rabbit (his nickname for Resha)will be alright. God has the master plan and he's brought you to far to leave you now. Just keep trusting in him and your joy will come in the morning. You and your entire family is in my prayers and my heart goes out to each of you during this very difficult time. Bony is in heaven with our Lord and he too is alright.
