A Man who lived with HEART ......i will miss you so!










You and I.

So many memories.

Sitting on your knee, singing to you as a little girl

Hearing you say, "Oh what a beauty!"

Feeling like your little princess.

Always feeling your love and that you were proud of me.

Time spent together, on dinner dates.....you made time for each grand child

I've loved you in life Grandpa and in death you have left a legacy of love and goodness and service to so many. So many have called me and have told me how much you meant to them, how special you made them feel. You truly made "the one" feel important and special.

You are my H E R O, I love you so much and will miss you dearly. But as I went to be with Grandma just after your passing, I felt your spirit so tangibly. You were watching over us then and I know your spirit is A L I V E and that you have stepped into a bigger sphere, and that you will watch closely over us, your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I pray that in my life, through service and faithfully living the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST that I will show my gratitude to you for all your GOODNESS, your life of service and generosity.

I love you Grandpa.

  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement arou

A few pictures for our Idaho friends of Southern Alberta. more wide open spaces wheat field and rainbow The Boehme farm....where we now live The Boehme Farm...at sunset *We moved home to Lethbridge, Alberta Canada on 08.02.2008!* We loaded up the UHAUL on Friday, Aug. 1st, and did all the cleaning in one evening. Thank you to each of you for your help with that crazy day! No one can move on their own and we felt so blessed for all the hands that helped in so many ways. We stayed at the Campbells home overnight (thanks guys for all the memories) and then got up the next morning and were on our way by 9:00am. The trip was long and tiring, but as we crossed the border into Canada I was filled with a wonderful peaceful feeling that the timing was right and that after 5 years of being away. . .we were home to stay.
