Hi Tawny and Laverne Scott.

That is an old post from Boyce's friend. It was a really bad time to contact us....sorry to say.....and we didn't get to meet Boyce. All of the older folks were in very ill health at the time, and were unable to have company......we all feel bad about that. My Aunt Opal had either died or was in a nursing home, and Lola (her sister) was working to get Opal's house cleared out (it took her months-driving 45 miles each way) then after that, she got ill and had a heart attack. I think Boyce had asked for a place to stay, or wanted to come by, and had small children, and Lola was just too ill to have company, and she lives in a small trailer, and had no room anyway. All of us had made ourselves ill trying to get things cleared out at both Opal's and my parents' and trying to settle the estates. ( and we were driving 45 miles each way to do so as well)
It was a bad situation all around...and I have felt bad about it all this time. I am sure he felt we didn't want to meet him...but that was not the case.....I don't have any idea what my aunt told him....I was either out of town, working on the parents hose, or at my daughters...while doing that I got that bad flu that was going around. Well, just thought I would post this so that Boyce's friend would know what happened.
