Condolences to the family Nathan, your calm demeanor will be missed.
My sincere condolences and prayers to the family. Elder Bostick will always be remembered for his words of wisdom and kindness! He will be missed on this side!❤️❤️❤️
I still remember our last conversation at Home Depot. I joked that I was going to tell Eric I saw you in there, and we both had a good laugh. Then you said, "I'm just happy to still be here." I replied, "He (God) must still have more work for you to do!" You smiled and said, "I guess so," as we walked toward the door.
Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure you ever left the store—LOL. But one thing's for sure: you left a lot with me. Your words, your wisdom, our talks... I'll carry them with me always.
Gonna miss you, Dad. Say hello to Uncle George for me.
I am thinking of you with sympathy and hoping you find comfort in the lifetime of special memories of Nathan Bostick. He and I attended fifth and sixth grade at Ridgecrest Elementary School.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
