You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I got to know Mr. Bostick as a customer while working at the bank on James Island many years ago. It was always a joy to serve him as he was always smiling and was such a gentleman. He always had a kind word for everyone. I know that he will be missed by so many but we all know that he is resting safely in the arms of Jesus until you see him again. Hugs and love to all of you ♡
