Bo

My namesake Robert Redding McConnell, Jr. (Bo) was born July 22, 1970 and died April 18, 1973.

He was a delightful little guy his whole life. Two weeks before he died his Mom was laying on the couch with a bad headache. He kneeled down beside her a prayed a beautiful prayer. When asked about it, he said that he had asked Jesus into his heart. From that day on we saw a real change in his life: he was more obedient and cheerful.

The night before he died he marked (scribbled beside) these verses in his Mom's Bible:

“I shall wash my hands in innocence, and I will go about Your altar, O LORD,
that I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving and declare all Your wonders.
O LORD, I love the habitation of Your house and the place where Your glory dwells.”
(Psalm 26:6-8)

Those verses were a great comfort to us after he died.
The best word to describe Bo is “Joyful”.
