Sympathies to all of Shirley Boone's loved ones. I've been a fan of Pat ever since I saw "April Love" with my Mom at the theater. He never disappointed me concerning his Christian standards in every aspect of his life. All Mother's could allow their children to hear his music, attend his shows, & watch his movies, resting assured he is an honorable role model. Gods blessings. 💕

[@JoseRivera-ez4yc]

@@newtoublue1451 I pray you become educated in the Bible. If you just get to know Jesus, you're view of Christianity will change. You just trash talked a magnificent Christian couple. Aren't you curious if God is real, if Jesus was born as recorded in the Bible. He's the only God who suffered tremendously and was crucified, rising from the dead on the 3rd day! Aren't you worth the time to give this serious thought . Also Jesus is the only God who rose from the dead and fulfilled all but 1 prophesy, not time for that one yet. The odds are seriously astronomical! He is part of the Trinity, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit! The only true God! Do this for yourself, get a Bible and slowly and prayerfully read John in the New Testament. Ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. Doing this with your heart, discover God and what He's done for humanity, develop a relationship w Jesus. For yourself I pray you do this. I speak from my heart!

Dear Sweet Pat, my husband and I grew up listening to your songs and watching your movies. We married when I was only 18 and he was 20. We had almost 54 years together before he died on August 9th of this past year. He was the love of my life, just as your Shirley was to you. We will see them both again some day, but the waiting is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. God Bless you for your courage in telling your story so soon after losing Shirley. I'll be praying for you and your daughters. Diane in North Carolina

I don't expect either you or I will ever finish grieving. I pray every day that God will give me the strength to endure just that day. If I look too far ahead, I fall into despair. I am so very sorry that you suffer.

I suppose there are those people who don't feel the same way as we do, but for sure I can relate to the physical as well as emotional pain we go through. I'm so very sorry that it still hurts so bad. I expect if I live nine more years, it will be the same for me. Jimmie was my soulmate too. Hardly ever saw one of us without the other. I long for Heaven.

I am 76 yrs old, & I remember the song “Gold mine in the sky” . & went to all the movies you made! Loved them. ❤❤❤❤ I also loved Debby’s music & songs she recorded! What a beautiful family you have! You’re a good man Pat! Thanks for everything you have given us through the years. May God Bless you & you’ll get up there with Shirley soon. My husband died one year ago and I miss him so much❤❤❤❤. We’ll be moving soon too, Pat to be with our loved ones!

My parents were married 62 years. My Dad held on until 2:30 am on May 29th 2016 their anniversary. They loved each other and my Mom went to see Jesus and reunite with my Dad in 2017. I take comfort in knowing I will see them in Heaven one day♥️🙏♥️🙏

Cant remember the song but I played it over and over until I learned how to whistle with Mr Boone. Always admired him and loved his talent and happy attitude. Guess shirley was greatly responsible for that. May she rest in peace.

Thank You for sharing your life with us

Hello my super fan, i appreciate your kind words of condolences and your continued love and support, i would love to have a conversation, kindly drop a cellphone number i can text you on, Thanks!

[@carolyng5044]

May God continue to bless Mr. Boone. May He heal his broken heart with all the lovely memories they shared. I was just a little girl when I first heard him sing. What a wonderful voice. I liked everything he sang, my favorite was his "Love Letters in the Sand." I was also a little Elvis fan too. I loved music. But there was something about Pat Boone's voice. Not like Elvis, and yes they were both very popular, I remember that. There was something wholesome about him. It came across in his music. I hope he knows this. Thank you, Mr. Boone for all the wonderful memories of hearing you sing while I was growing up. Thank you.

This was so touching and inspirational. Hope precious it is to dwell with God's children. My name is Shirley and my husband's name is Pat. We took a lot of teasing for that. I always said we could not have had better examples. My husband went home 5 years ago. Seems like yesterday, still such a precious part if my life. When my husband went home I remember falling on my knees at his bedside with the tears rolling down. All of a sudden it was as if someone lift placed theirs beneath by elbows and lift me up from my knees. This over whelming peace over flowed me and has not left me. This is what I pray for you and your family. I could not have made it without that peace that God gave me. Praise His Holy Name.

So sorry for your immense loss, Pat. What a wonderful marriage you have had! So so amazing! Always loved your music! Glory to the LORD!

[@rowenaardoin981]

You were always my favorite singer! I admired you and your family, not many put GOD first. You are special.

Tears of grief, and tears of Joy.

[@brendawatkins7985]

I'V FOLLOWED YOUR LIFE FOR A LONG TIME SENCE THE FIFTIES AND HAVING LOVED YOUR AND ELVIS"S MUSIC,IM THINKING THIS WAS REASENT BUT I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

[@smallfootprint2961]

To this day, I can sing every word to Pat's songs. So sorry to hear about Shirley's passing. Thankful for faith.

[@vincentdesiano4861]

It’s been a little while, but please accept my deepest sympathies over the loss of your beloved wife! And thank you for leading such an exemplary life, especially in your line of work in the field on entertainment with its accompanying temptations! And as you spoke so fondly of your great success with the musical hits of the (50s and 60s) that God has blessed you with, I’m reminded of a song by the Platters that truly is befitting to you...”One In A million.” You are no doubt one of the shining stars of Americana!

[@irismorris5027]

So glad to hear this testimony about Pat's wife Shirley! Pat was myonly hero singer when I just came to the Lord & am blessed to hear this now about their lives! Bless you Pat how you see your precious Love in Heaven & have our Lord's comfort whenever you cry when you do miss her!! It's so understandable! I think I'll be exactly like thàt if my Love & husband of 55 years would move first!

[@ArtbookendsMeyer]

I met Shirley when I returned to the Lord. Shirley prayed over me in a church revival name of the church called Coast Christian Church in Torrance, California....sorry that she passed away she was a real Christian woman...🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Timepassages]

One of my favorite songs by Pat was "It's Too Soon To Know". What a full and wonderful life he has had. Blessed with wife and family. RIP Shirley.

[@susancarver3579]

I am 74 now & have always loved & admired Pats' wonderful example for God! We were worshipping one Sunday in Nashville years ago & I told my husband the song leader had a beautiful voice like Pat Boone. Come to find out later it was Nick Boone singing. May God continue to bless you & your family as you serve God with joy! Love in Christ, Susan Carver - Northwest Church of Christ member in Fort Worth, Texas ❤

GBY PAT BOONE 65 YRS THATS WONDERFUL BEING MARRIED TO THE SAME WOMAN THAT LONG SHIRLEY IS WAITING ONE DAY YOU 2 WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN PRAISE GOD IN THAT BEAUTIFUL MANSION IN THE SKY

[@eepanusstar5940]

Around 1957-1959, Pat Boone walked right into me at a Western Mass fair-he had just left a local TV station booth-I was so surprised I could not say a word to him-and yes, he had his white bucks on! We loved his songs back then-bought all his records-still play him today. A good and decent man

[@berylackermann8240]

That is the blessed "hope" we have. To be reunited, with Yeshua our Messiah, and each other.

[@jcw3587]

Beryl Ackermann if you knew the bible at sll. Marriage is death when you part.. its over

[@reneekerner2014]

We can only hope. Let people believe what they want. No one really knows what happens when we pass away.

[@jcw3587]

OsakaRose oh. I certainly do know grief, but i also know what the marriage vows say. Till death do us part. Pretty clear to me???

[@jcw3587]

Renee Kerner yes we do know, if people would follow the Bible. They would know, but yes you certainly can believe what you want.
