Elaine M. Boyes

Dear Cindy,
We are so sad to hear about Elaine's death. I can't imagine how sad your whole family must be. I know the hope of eternity is clear and real; the sadness is too.
We will remember you in our prayers, for God to comfort each one of you in His own way and that you will all sense His Presence throughout all the preparations, contacts with people, and the funeral and burial.
Love to all,
Bob and Judy Long (TEAM)

James,Kim, Ernie and Stephanie,

We just want you all to know we are saddened over the loss of Elaine (Grandma Elaine). She was such a remarkable person and touched our lives more than words can ever express. We will cherish our memories and times with her and hold her in our hearts forever. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love Regina, Jan and Ashley

Dear loved ones of Elaine ~ I cannot even begin to imagine the anguish in your hearts right now, but I know that the Lord Jesus Himself is feeling it with you and He will carry you through this devastating time. My heart is aching for you, and I want you to know that I am praying intensely for you in these hours and in the days, weeks, and months ahead. With much love & prayer ~ Margaret

I am at a loss for words. It was such a shock to read that your mom has left this earth. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God has a plan for each of us. At the covered bridge classis we fondly compared notes on our kids and grandkids. She loved each and every one of you so much.

GOD BLESS YOU!! Cindy

Dear Ernest & Stephanie, James & Kimberly, and family,
I'm very sorry to read of the sad loss of your beloved mother, and I want to extend my deepest, heartfelt sympathy. Acts 24:15 promises that "there is going to be a resurrection."
Until this time comes, your dear mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt is as if asleep; just as Jesus said of his friend Lazarus when he died. -(John 11:11-15) Jesus then raised Lazarus from that sleep of death back to life again! - (John 11:34-44) and in doing so; he gave us a solid basis for hope to see our loved ones again!
When tragedies happen, it's due to "time and unforeseen occurrence that befall them all" - (Ecclesiastes 9:11b) Jehovah God doesn't cause bad things to happen to our cherished family and we see this from James 1:13 "When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone."
2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 speak of God as ‘the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our tribulation.”
Revelation 21:4 comfortingly assures us “And (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” - Just imagine --a world with no tears of sorrow, no pain, and no death! Then the prayer for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven will be fully realized! - Matthew 6:9, 10 and at this time 'no resident will say: "I am sick."' - Isaiah 33:24
Take care, and I hope that your loving memories will comfort and sustain you and that these verses might be of help too.
Sincerely Yours,
Cindy Boyer

I was shocked to hear of your loss. I met Elaine and Ernie through Janet. They were such a fantastic couple. Elaine was a dear and I have all of you in my prayers.

Dear Family Members:
You do not know me personally; however, I met your mother as a sophomore at Scott and had business classes with her in our junior and senior years. We kept in contact over the years keeping each other up to date on our lives. The last time I spoke with her was last October at our 40th high school reunion. She shared with me about her difficulty in coming to terms with the loss of her beloved soul-mate and husband Ernie. Oh my what love she had for him and her family. I cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling right now. Please accept my condolences of sympathy and know that I will always treasure my friendship with Elaine. What a beautiful spirit. I know she had to be in a lot of pain to leave her loved ones and earthly home behind. She is pain free now and with her beloved. Keep that thought foremost in your minds. Sending up prayers for everyone.
Sincerely, Linda (Moore) Zynn

I am so sorry Uncle Herb,Cindy, Sharon, Bill, and Ken, we are praying for all of you and esp. James and Ernie Jr. I am crying with all of you and so is our Dear Lord Jesus. He will comfort you. I was just meditating this morning on the vr Isaiah. 9:6 . and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. I am praying He will be all of this and much much more to all of you during this very hard time . I am praying with my heart so sad for your great loss . My prayer is God will show Himself so real to all of you during this hurting time. He loves you all and cares so much. Love, Cathy

We only just met Elaine for the first time at the Congo re-union.
After 3 days we felt we had known her for years, and had a special bond. Words cannot express our feelings at her passing. Our thoughts are with her family and brothers and sisters, and we will remember them in our prayers.
Elaine is with the Lord.
Allan & Barbara Nicholls

We also met Elaine for the first time at the Congo reunion. There she made an outstanding impact and will remain in our thoughts and hearts. We send our love to all the family and pray for comfort in your sadness.

We were priviledged to meet Elaine for the first time at the Congo reunion held at Coatesville, July 2010. We were struck by Elaine's courage which was very evident when she shared hers and Ernie's story with all the group.
I was so pleased that the 'little' Ernie I knew in Africa had such a caring and loving partner and wife. Elaine spent time telling me about Ernie and it was obvious that she loved him dearly and missed him greatly! In the run up to the reunion, Elaine took time to supply us with information about the area we were to visit - just a little thing, but done to ensure we had a great visit!
We wish we could have known Elaine longer and better, but that was not our gift. We feel blessed and honoured to have known her for the short time that we did, and will always remember her kindness and gentleness! It was a joy to have spent time with Elaine.
We wish to extend our condolences to all the family, some we know and some we don't, and all her friends. We will be thinking and praying for you all, especially on Saturday, Laureen and Baz

I will always remember you as a kind and loving sister. We had wonderful times when we were young, snapping green beans, playing hide & seek, having picnics. I would get so excited every time Daddy & I came to visit you. You & Jeanne made us so proud when you did the synchronized swimming at school and then you wound up marrying my best friends brother. That was so special. Elaine, you will truly be missed by many people and I will continue to remember your spirit and spunk.
Love forever your sister, Rosie
