Not sure what to say?

Dear Bro,
"Your Soul is Free"
Being long remembered
He's hanging from my soul
He's with our Heavenly Father now,
He's finally whole.

The fear, the pain, the suffering
Has finally gone away.
The tears that fell like rain
Are placed with sunny days.

Oh what a joyous feeling
To know you're safely home.
Your soul is free in heaven
And with angels there you roam.

Brother,
I miss you, I love you, I know Mom and Dad were so happy to see you. I...

Hopi Prayer
-author unknown

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint in the snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the autumn's gentle rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there,
I did not...

I am glad I got the privilage to know you, and take care of you...You greatly made a impact on my life, and my mother's..she knew you by the great words I spoke about you. I know you are walking on the streets of gold...and enjoying your reunion with your mom and dad...but most of all your Savior...congradulations! you made it! Love you, and you'll be missed terribly...

Peggy and family,
We were very sorry to learn of your recent loss. I am glad that MDA was able to assist with some of his equipment needs. I enjoyed meeting and talking with Buddy on the telephone the past 18 years I have been here at MDA.

Weep Not For Me

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into the gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my souls sweet flight.

There is no need for tears.
I am at peace, my soul is at rest
There is no pain, I suffer not,
For with your love I was so blessed.

I am in a place of comfort
The fear now is gone.
Put those things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the...

We just heard of Buddy's passing, so we sadly missed the funeral. We will always remember Buddy as a wonderful, happy and kind friend and relative. When dad was able, he always enjoyed visiting Buddy. May God bless you all in the days ahead.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast...

Buddy you will be missed. I enjoyed coming over and talking to you. Love Amanda

Barbara,Tommy, Nancy, Louise, Peggy and Wendell,

Dennis & I are so sorry to hear of Buddy's passing. We are sorry we cannot come to the funeral, as Dennis is in a nursing home at the present time, after a short stay in the hospital, and is in re-hab right now. We hope he will be coming home by the end of October...and I am battling severe spinal stinosis. We always admired Buddy and will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Love,
