Boozer you were a wonderful little boy and grew into a fine young man. I remember you and my son playing
as children into your teen years. I am blessed to have known and loved you. You will always be in my heart and mind. I love
you. Keep smiling down on us. We will meet again someday. I pray for comfort for all of your family. They are all so close
and they are strongly committed to God, each other and you. They will carry this pain but with perfect memories of you.
Together they will survive. I love you all. Boozer.. you will be missed.

To
my dear cousin Aaron Johnson, my heart and prayers goes out to you, your mother and Ms. Lena. To be absent from the body
is to be present with the Lord. Boozer was called into Heaven for a reason and we must keep his name alive on Earth in memory
and laughter. Look to the Most High for comfort and lean on friends and family for support through this difficult time. I
am here for you and it breaks my heart to see you down. I must say that I am happy that I shared a few laughs and got to
see Boozer's smile light up the atmosphere, it was truly bright. He will be dearly missed. My condolences to you all.

Joe, wow, I cant believe you are gone. It seems like just yesterday
I was sitting next to you in school and helping you with your work. You always tried to show your hard and rough side but
I knew better. You were nothing but a big teddy bear. And then when you came and saw me in Walmart. I was always so proud
to hear of your achievements. You will always be in my heart. Go now and be happy. For you deserve it. And to your family,
my thoughts and prayers are with you. I to know what its like to lose a child. They are never far from your heart and mind.

our Vacation Bible School, at the Shiloh Missionary Baptist CHurch on West and Lincoln Streets. Seen himn as a young boy
and then as a Grown YOung Man. The best thing I remembered about him was his SMILE!, that was so radiant. Am Praying for
his Family and friends that the Lord will provide MORE FAITH AND TRUST IN JESUS. And to Sis. Grace Williams, the other Great
Grandmother, he is in PERFECT HANDS.
