To all the Buie family, Donna and I wish to extend our sympathy. A flash back to seeing Mrs. Buie at the cafe on some of those Friday nites during the high school years.....Mike Howell

Buie's Restaurant holds a special place in my heart. I vividly remember the kind and courteous way we were treated as a group of sometimes rowdy and disrespectful teenagers. Some of us in the class of 62 would meet there after special events like a school dance. Thanks for the memories!! Chip Bailey

Jerry, it has been many years since seeing or talking with you, but always remembered you and Buddy each time my mother would mention seeing Mrs. Buie at Sunday School or at a church function. As you probably know your mother and my mother were high school friends and graduated together and were in the same Sunday School Class. She looked after many of us kids at "Buie's" and made sure we behaved and I will always remember her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
