Betty and family,
I am so sorry that Mother and I did't get to attend the funeral service for Uncle J.D. He was by far our favorite and we loved him dearly. We will miss him always.
Love, Debbie Peebles (Buckner)

Mr. Buckner was always a favorite visitor to the Kennedale Public Library. He always brought a smile and a deep appreciation for the books that we were able to provide for him. He will be missed.
