I grew up in Mendota and I knew your family. I would love to hear from you (Buckey).
I moved away in the early 60's and would often come back to see your parents. So sorry to hear of your loss.

I am sorry to hear of your lose, I was born and raised in Mendota, my Parents were the late, Stuart & Erma Barker, but I have been gone from that region for 38 yrs. I was a student of your Mother, both your Mother and Father were wonderful people. Those memories growing up in Mendota, and the people I was surrounded by, are fond memories that I shall never forget. I will be praying for your family in this time of sorrow.
