To the Buxtons, my other family:

My desire was to be there as soon as I heard about Herbie's transition. My love is there embracing each one of you as we celebrate the life of a wonderful man who I can confidently say treated me like a daughter. My greatest happiness today is that Herbie is present with the Lord. Saunny and Jeannie, God saw it all and I KNOW He is pleased. Be encouraged.
