To the family of Mr. Buford..We, the Little family would like to express our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you during this time. Mr Buford was good friends with my parents Nelson(Yvonne) and the late Johnnie Little when they lived in Hampton, but I think their connection was mainly because they were all from Alabama. He even built on the upstairs to our Hampton home. That is what I will remember the most and the fact that he was a lovely person, always full of laughter. May you find comfort and know that he is always with you in spirit. Be blessed! Praying for you...Anita, Andrea, and Analisa.
