Dearest Chuck and Buker family,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I know how much Chuck loved his mom. All the times shared with coffee over breakfast can't be beat. Your family has always been steadfest with each other and I'm sure this traditional will carry on. Carol was always so nice and always interested in what you had to say. She was really up to date on alot of issue and a great conversationalist.
Chuck we all love you so if you need a friend I'm hear for you.

Your loving friend, Liz Reller Mpls, MN.

I am so sorry for your loss. Carol was a classmate of mine in Jr & Sr High. The last time I saw her was the 50 year class reunion. She was a sweet caring person. We kept in touch by Christmas cards after I moved to Texas. She has a place in my heart. I will not forget her.

Carol and I were high school buddies,and, tho we didn't see each other often in later years, we always kept in touch. She gave me one of the best dogs I ever had, back in the 60's. I'll miss you, Carol.

Hi, This is a voice from your past. Don, Dick, Dale and Cindy babysat our children Karl and Karen. We lived at 4115 Diamond Dr. I worked with Carol alot and Rudy and I bowled with Dick and Carol for many years. We were so sorry to hear about Carol. Karl and Karen were shocked and had many memories. Especially when Karen would give Cindy a bad time and she'd have to threaten Karen to be good. Guess what -- Karen would. She'd say, "Cindy come sit down, I will be good." She wasn't scared of Carol she was scared of Rudy and I. We threaned her alot in those days. She was a handful. Now she has multiple sclerosis and is not well. I will be going to Kansas City, Missouri soon to a military medical hospital with her and then I will have to go get her. She lives in Great Falls, MT. It is 50 miles away from where we live in Choteu, MT. Karl is lead over the electronic techs at Mystic Lake in Prior Lake, MN. He has been there a long time and has the 4 to midnight shift. He lives in Prior Lake too. Karen is married and has a 14-year-old special needs son. Her husband, Maurice is a chemist at the oil refinery in Great Falls. Karl never has gotten married. Karl has off Fri. and Sat., nights -- holidays too I believe. Rudy is not doing well. He is 81-years-old now. He has lost the use of his legs and is in a wheel chair. I am 75 and I am like the ever-ready battery. I just go and go. I worked for 60 years. I still write a column for two newspapers and do stons of volunteer work. I would sure love to hear from you. My e-mail is [email protected]. I am stupid when it comes to Facebook. Take care and have a happy holiday season.
If you ever our way look us up. We are between Great Falls, MT and Glacier National Park on the Rocky Mountain Front.
