Dear Carol and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy. Our hearts were heavy when we found out about Uncle Bobby's passing. Although as adults, we did not see him very often as kids we have some pretty funny memories. He always had that "Brown" sense of humor that made us laugh. We are sure that he was welcomed up in Heaven by his parents and all his brothers and sisters,other family and friends. If you listen carefully, bet you can hear them all laughing and carrying on.

Dear Carol, I was so sorry to hear about the death of my Uncle Bobby. It has been quite a while since we have seen him.. I believe it was my Aunt Elaine's funeral. I have wonderfull memories of him and how he always made us laugh. I hope the end was not too painfull for him. One thing I know for sure is that he has a loving family waiting for him upstairs. Please give my condolences to the family. sincerely, Mary Ellen Buffington
