Uncle Buddy will always be missed by us. He had a sparkle in his eye and he was my mother's big brother. We loved going to see our "Uncle Buddy" when we were kids.

My sympathy to Billy, Diane, Marilyn and Carla.

Love,

Melanie (his niece)

Although our time together was short, Bill touched my heart. We spent our mornings talking and sharing and becoming friends. I will miss you, Friend.
God bless you and keep you.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Matthew 5:2-12
And he opened his month, and taught them, saying,
Blessed are the poor in spirt; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be conforted.
Blessed are the meek:for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of
God.
Blessed are they which are persecute
you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
REjoice and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:
God bless you daddy may you find peace.
Love,
Marilyn Traylor oldest daughter
and Sidney Traylor
