My heart is truly broken for the family and friends of Mrs. McCollum. She was more than just a neighbor to me, we lived down below her for a number of years. she was a blessing to my youngest son, always speaking life and positivity into him. What a legacy to leave behind. Sending love, prayers, and hugs to Pastor Jerome Smith and the entire Mt Calvary Baptist Church family during this difficult time.

My heart , thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I remembered Mrs.Boncile by working with her at Herbert Center in residential on second shift. She was a nice and beautiful person. ๐๐พ
I offer my sincere and heartfelt condolences to Boncille's family. Her death hit me pretty hard because I had JUST had a nice phone conversation with her a little over a week ago after calling to check on her after a recent death of someone I knew she was close to. Her presence will definitely be missed, especially at Mt. Calvary, but the memories will live on always. Fly high Boncile. You were definitely one of a kind!! ๐๐ฝ๐น๐๐ฝ
Words cannot express the love that Boncile showed to everyone. I'm sure going to miss that warm smile. But, the doors of Heaven has opened up and welcomed that smile home. Love, Helen Wilburn
You surely will be missed!
