My heart and prayers go out to everyone in the Bost family. I remember nothing but a sweet, nice, loving, & caring lady. Im sure her smile, as well as her none stop cheerfulness will be deeply missed. I remember always seeing a certain glow around her, & this smile on her face, every time I came to North Carolina to visit. I will certainly miss seeing this next time I come to visit.. She was truly an angel on earth.
RIP Grandma Bost

| A mother is a blessing from God. A calm in the storm. Strength when we are weak. Words of wisdom to speak. We shall miss you Mother Bost, as God receives you into his bosom. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow all the days of our lives, and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. God bless.

| To all of Effie's family and friends, I offer my sincere and very heartfelt condolences. Effie was one of the nicest women I have ever known. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone, and always had a pleasant disposition. No matter what was happening around her, she could be counted on for a smile and usually a laugh or two. After I left home, I did not see Effie for decades until a few years ago. But, being around her was as if we were close friends who had never been apart. On that occasion, she spent most of her time talking about her family. She was always very proud of each and every one of her children. She was a remarkable lady. I read a poem last year when my mother-in-law passed away. The writer noted that she knew everything her son liked when he came home to visit. She knew his favorite foods, the colors he liked and so on. How much more would our Heavenly Father know what we each like, and surely prepare a place with everything we liked in His Kingdom. I trust that God has prepared a place for Effie with Him. May he also keep and protect each of us, and help us all through this time of grief.

| Clyde and family,
I am so sorry about Effie's death. I have so many wonderful memories of her and Clyde visiting with Mom and Dad. The four of them enjoyed their visits so. I can still hear her laughing when she and Clyde would come to visit Mom and Dad.
Love you all.

| A LETTER FROM HEAVEN To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you." It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I truly am going to miss your mother in the days to come. She was such a fine example of Christian character! Her smile, her chuckles, her neatness were so special. How I would loved to have known her when she was young. I can only guess what a terrific mom she was! Clyde, I know you are truly going to miss her. God knows your pain and hurt and he will be there for all of you. She was a gem!
