Thanks for challenging people under your influence to look around them, and into themselves to recognize what is truly important, The things that you can't touch; love, relationships, personality, consciousness. I am inspired and encouraged to see young people take the journey. Kari McClendon is my daughter. She asked me to read your words. Thank you for these words. I am the parent into whom's eyes you can not look because of the enormity of what we have lost ... and gained. Your insight discerns the wisdom of God in allowing us to despair so low. Only then can we relate to the heights of His love for us and all mankind. Thank you for saying and thank you for being. Kip McClendon Thank you for saying, and thank you for being.

He gave me my nickname that I still carry to this day Q...Jonathan meant more to me than words could describe and I thank you for this tribute to his greatness...I can't look into his parents eyes anymore with out my eyes swelling with tears...How could you not love a man that flys all the way from Atlanta to Maryland to take you to your Senior Prom..just because he's always loved you! So I am "the girl" from Maryland...their may have been some before me or after me...but as far as I'm concerned Jonathan Lamar Boone taught me how to love and now he's teaching me how to live...Happy Birthday Gaurdian Angel...Q Thank you so much for this…I thank God for meeting Kendra on Tuesday…it helped me to talk to her and not feel the hurt I feel every August 19th.

Your words could put it no greater. Bo

And I am positive you dont know this and even more positive you are wonder how, when and how. I have never met someone that I repect, admire and enjoy as much as I do you. Our time spent together has never really been extensive. But everytime, you have managed to effect my mode and stir my emotions. Whether you were cracking jokes about someone's intelligence or lack there of, or if it was when we lost John and your spirit just wasnt righ for a while, you cause me to think and I thank you for that. The day I met you in front of Brawley Hall, I knew you were someone I wanted to keep in my circle. So I say all this to say....Thank You for being alot of what I strive to be and just so you know ....I Love You Star Bo,
