Buck, gerald, Lena, and jo,
I am thinking of all of you at this sad time. Buck was just so much fun to.be around, in fact, I can't remember ever seeing him when he wasn't smiling - usually he was laughing! Buck just enjoyed life. I know you will all miss him. My prayers are with all of you. I hope to see all of you at the funeral but if I can't be there, please know you will all be in my thoughts and my prayers. I love you all.
