Buff was a classmate of mine from grammar and high school. I am the class representative of the McGehee School class of 1959. We are all deeply saddened by her death and send our joint sympathy to her family and friends. We lost contact with Buff a few years back and did not know that she lived in Illinois. May she rest in peace.
