She was most proud to have shared in the Fripp Family Reunion at Beaufort - 1985.
She will be greatly missed and admired for some time to come.

I was so sorry to read today in the Charleston Post and Courier about the passing of "Buddy".
Buddy and I enjoyed a special bond: we loved family history. She contributed so much to my files about the Koger family and other Low Country and Colleton County ties we shared: she copied some materials for me and gave me references and leads to find more material on my own. Buddy so willingly gave her time and her efforts to help me. I did so appreciate her kindness.

Buddy was my first "boss" when I worked for the City right out of high school. I have wonderful memories of those days and owe her a great debt of gratitude for her patience and guidance. She was a truly beautiful woman.
