Although it has been many years since we had seen Booner, we both have some very fond memories of the times we shared with him and Bobbie. Couple of trips to Reno were among them. Both of our girls were in daycare in the Tumwater home they shared. We are so sorry for your family's loss.

We'll miss you Uncle Booner! I know you are up there shootin' hoops and having a grand time in Heaven's Casino in the sky! Give everyone a big hug and kiss for me, ok? Thank you for taking care of Dad and being the wonderful brother to him that you were. I know he appreciated you although he probably did not express it. We appreciated your dedication as well. I love you and will miss you and will expect you to be in the line of loved ones waiting when it is my turn to join you. Love, Barb##imported-begin##Barb Shelstad Monroe##imported-end##
Dear Uncle Booner,
It was such a blessing to know that you were with Dad in his final years, and we cannot express how much we appreciated you giving up your freedom in order to take care of him. Your sacrifices did not go unnoticed or unrecognized.
I remember the days when we would meet at Grandma Birdie's house. I always loved it when you were there, because I could tell how much you really loved kids. When the family get-togethers ceased, I missed them terribly and you as well.
I so enjoyed getting to know you again these past few years. And, as I told you, I was amazed that you would actually answer my letters and address all that I had written to you. I will miss our correspondence.
You will be sorely missed and always remembered.
Hugs and Kisses and the Best to You As You Pursue New Adventures!

Uncle Booner -
I am happy to hear you have finally made it home to the family waiting for you. We will miss you but you will not be forgotten. Your generosity when Uncle Bill passed away is something that I will remember forever - it was such a comfort to see you at his service.
You were so wonderful to Dad and made him very happy. You were a blessing to us as well. You gave of yourself and we appreciated it so much.
We will miss you - rest well now and enjoy your new life - it must be wonderful to be free of pain and to be with Shirley again.
Much love,
Kathy##imported-begin##Kathy Martin##imported-end##
