Dear Carol, Margaret, Jason, Todd, and others,
I would just like to say that Buck will be missed greatly. I will always remember the good times we had together, but I keep saying to myself that he is up there with my granddaddy probably talking about old times that they had together. I remember his last words to me were "I love you, too". He said that the last time I visited him in the hospital. I know you all will miss him dearly and I will too. I remember going to see him with granddaddy riding in the golf cart. He helped mema plant her garden and he would go over there almost every day to see how the garden looked and he plowed it up for her too. He was a good man and always was nice to me. I will surely miss him bunches! I also am glad that he is out of his pain. I lost my grandma from the same thing so I know it feels to have lost someone from that. I know it won't be the same with out him but he wouldn't want us to be upset because, he isn't suffering. We need to remember the good old times like he would say. If you need to talk I'm here.
With love and care,
Holly
