I consider it an honor to have had Buzz Mendel as my Brother in Law.
And, I feel it a priveledge to have had the opportunity to get to know his friends and family.

Dear Liz and Ashley, I so enjoyed my chance to work with Buzz since 2005.

Dearest Brother,
It is to you that I came for strength and now that you are gone, you have left a little piece of it with all of us. I know that those who went before you are glad to have you "home". As you would sometimes say to me: "Onward and Upward", and so it shall be. Love you Irish! Your sister, Taffy

Dearest Liz, Ashley, Charlie, and our newest little members,
It has been hard but totally understood, for both Mom and me being so far away and not able to convey what is in our hearts in person. You have been amazing. She has been reliving all the times through Buzz's life that she and my dad spent with him and what a wonderful person he has always been.We are so sorry for your loss. Know that you are loved and cherished.
Aunt Idaline and Marcia

Dear Liz and family,
My sincere sympathy for your loss. I remeber geat times we had with you and Buzz in Westhampton and Quogue. Buzz had a great sense of humor and fun. You and Buzz were always great company.
Best regards, Laura Lawrence (Dwyer)
