Charlene and Family- My thoughts and prayers have been with you a lot lately. I can only remember my aunt and uncle losing their son in a tragic accident. When I think about you, my heart hurts for you. I know the Lord does not give us more than we can handle. I am praying for your strength and God to carry you through this tough and difficult time. If you need us, please do not hesitate to call. In His Name, The Stone's- Mike, Mariam, Melanie, & Matthew

Charlene, There are no words, just prayers that I can offer. Though I didn't know your precious Bo, I know he was a wonderful person because Uncle Dan spoke of him with such pride. He obviously touched many in a very positive way. I know that's comforting to you. I pray that you and all that loved Bo quickly find that peace that passes all understanding and keep his memory alive in your hearts. Love to you all, Mary O

When I picked my son up from school 7th grade Thursday, he told me of one of his teachers who had leave because someone she was close to was in a terrible accident and in critical condition. When I saw the newspaper online on Friday night I found out it was Bo. Oh how my heart breaks for your family. Bo went to school with my 2 older boys Justin and Josh Bruner. It upset me when I read of his passing I can only imagine how your family feels, me having 2 sons almost the same age. Just know God takes the good ones first and Bo was one of the good ones. Although we don't understand, it's not for us to understand but to accept his plan. My prayers are with you in this time of need that God may give you peace.

Charlene, Katie & family, I was so saddened when Lisa called to tell me about Bo's accident. My heart goes out to you and all of your family. I remember Bo as a young boy when y'all came to Taos and I enjoyed seing him more recently at Jennifer's wedding and Greg's wedding...what a special young man. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Dear Charlene & family, Our family was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your precious son, Bo. When Bo was in the fifth grade at Glenview, my twin sons were in kindergarten. Through the fifth grade friends/kindergarten friends program between Jan's fifth grade class and Pam's kindergarten class, my son, Collin, was paired with Bo. As a shy kindergartener, Collin looked up to Bo, and enjoyed the many activities he and Bo shared together that year. Twelve years have passed since then, but Collin still remembers the kindness of his "fifth grade friend," Bo. Collin and I, along with the rest of our family, express our deepest sympathy to you and your family, and are keeping you in our prayers.

Dear Charlene, Words are so inadequate. I want you and your family to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I think of you as a wonderful example of a mother. You light up when talking about your children. You have done what few people do; you put your whole body and soul into your children and all of you were better for it. Bo was a remarkable young man and you were a large part of that. Love, Pam

Doris Bacon left a message on November 11, 2007:
Charlene, Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear this news. Beth Toney emailed me the news about Bo. When I read the email, I immediately went to the Internet and pulled up the Ruston Daily Leader and read this devastating story for myself. Beth and I have been keeping in contact since I left Ruston, periodiacally. During the time that we worked together at I.A. Lewis, I'd met Bo a couple of times. Bo must have been, indeed a wonderful son. I remember the glimmer in your eyes when you spoke of him and how proud of him you seemed when you introduced him to me. I couldn't help thinking of you today in Sunday Worship Service. I prayed for you and your family and you have my heart-felt sympathy for your loss. May God grant you peace with time. A few years ago one of my students gave me this poem and I wanted to share it with you. "I Said a Prayer For You Today" I said a prayer for you today And I know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart Although I heard no word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame I knew you wouldn't mind. I asked to send you treasures Of a far more lasting kind. I asked that God be near you At the start of each new day To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was God's loving care for you That I prayed for most of all. God bless, Doris Bacon - Houston Texas

My wife and I are saddened for your loss. All of Bo's family are in our prayers. I was one of those fortunate enough to have been able to work with Bo. It was a real pleasure to have worked with him because he was such a hard worker and was a very polite young man. You would have been proud of his work ethic, I know I was. I am sorry that I was not at the funeral but I didn't hear about it until it was too late.
