Becca and Tim,
Ola was a wonderful mother and I know you will miss her deeply. I was lucky enough to meet your family in 1981, and Ola was always so kind and loving to me (and to all who knew her). I know you will miss her humor and her kindness, but now she is at peace and she is with Dad. May the loving memories you have of her comfort you during this difficult time.
love,
Vicki
Timothy and Becca, you are in our prayers. You had the most wonderful parents...we really loved them. I am sorry we have lost touch. Your Mom and Dad will greatly be missed. We loved ministering with them. Can't say enough good about them...they loved the jail and prison ministry..and we loved going with them. Please email sometime. Loving you both!
Becca,
I am praying for your continuous strength.
Remember, you are not alone. Your friends at Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield are constantly praying for your strength. We Love You.

My boys and I became acquainted with the Boohers in early 90's during jail ministry. They both were such a blessing to us and I even had the opportunity to fellowoship with them outside of church. You are missed but I will see you soon.

Dear Rebecca and Tim. We know that Ola is in Heaven with Brother Audrey AND Jesus today. We miss them both and We look forward to seeing them in our future. I know Ola will be greatly missed by her many friends, and family, especially you, her children. She loved you both very much. She was a great prayer warrior, as was Brother Audrey. We want to thank Sister Ola and Brother Audrey for introducing us to the Love In Action Jail Ministries in 1995. They were two of our mentors. We enjoyed gathering at the jail with them both each Thursday night and teaching the word of God and seeing souls saved and lives restored. We are still faithful to that call and carrying on that work every Thursday night at the Pulaski Co Jail. There is still fruit from their vision. Love and God's Blessings to you

You will be missed dearly Ola. We loved you so very much and I am so happy to have been a part of your life, and that we had the chance for Chase to meet you and know you, even if he was small. I know you are at peace now. With all my love.
I love you Aunt Ola, you were an angel here on earth, truly one of God's children. You will forever be an inspiration to me in my life and you are always in my heart. God bless you Aunt Ola.
Ola, I never could be called your "Son in Law" legally, but you always made me feel that you loved me like a son, loved my Children like Grandchildren and even if you could not always say it, Glad your son was Happy. I promise that your Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren will know you and that I will always try and be as welcoming and loving as you and I super promise to always make your Son feel loved and Happy. I know you are at the right hand of God tonight, ask him to pray for all of us. I love you. Bill
