Dear Laura,

I am so sorry at the loss of your father. You have endured a lot this year and I know, at times, you feel like you can't take anymore. Rest assured that God never gives us more than we can handle. You are in His grace and loving arms at this sad time. My deepest sympathy to your family and all those who knew and loved your father. I know he will hold a special place in their hearts.

Dearest Sandra and family,
We are so sorry to learn of the sudden and tragic passing of Buddy in a farming accident. I remember Buddy as a faithful member of Newsoms Methodist Church and very kind young man as we grew up in Newsoms. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you move through this time of grief for his passing and thanksgiving for his life. May God Bless You and those you love, now and always. I pray that Buddy will go from strength to strength in his new life with our Lord...

We were so very sorry to hear the news of Buddy's death. As we began my husband's first clergy appointment, serving the Newsom's Charge of the United Methodist Church, we were grateful that the parsonage had Buddy & Sandra as neighbors. He shared much information/history that helped us understand the local farming community and our new church assignment. He saved us from a rabid fox as we waited at the bus stop with our Kindergartener; he shared fish when he had a successful venture...

AS THE DAYS GO BY, YOU WILL BE COMFORTED JUST KNOWING THE SUPPORT YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL HELP THE HEALING OF YOUR LOSS. KEEP YOUR FAITH!

We are saddened by the loss of Buddy. He was a special person and we know you all will miss him, as will his friends and acquaintances across Southampton County.
