Dear neighbor, it is so hard to know what to say that will bring you comfort. Buck was a big man in more ways than 1. He had a heart of gold. It's truly hard to say good bye. The memories will be etched in your hearts forever. He will never be forgotten. If there is anything that I can do, let me know because I know that you would do the same for me. Commit all your concerns to God in earnest prayer. Then you can rest and receive the peace that passes all understanding. philippians 4:6-7 hugs and prayers, barb (oma)

In this time of sorrow, over time and miles apart. It only seems like yesterday we were all together laughing and joking. These are the times that I will always remember of the family that lived across the prairie from us. Back then we were all close and considered each other family. Although the miles have separated us the sorrow is felt here I wish I could be there to tip a glass. Jerry

Christy my deepest sympathy for you and the children. Don't know if you remember me but I worked with you and "Buck" at JRCC. And always remember that if "God brings you to it, He will bring you through it!" Gloria
