We are sending our love and support to the Bolyard family. We have many fond memories of the years our boys played baseball together from early youth through high school. Those are fond memories and years of wonderful friendship.

To the Bolyard family and friends. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. The Bible 's hope of a resurrection, with such scriptures as Job 14:13-14 and Rev. 21:3-4, can bring comfort.
