To the family of Moses "Buddy" Lanier...

You have our deepest heartfelt sympathy at your time of loss.



Thank you for the 40 years of being my old school neighbor parents. I am going to miss him terribly and all the conversations we would share on the sidewalk.



May the arms of Jesus continue to hold and comfort you. May you find solace in His Word and in His Promises. May the Lord enfold you with His everlasting love and peace.



We love you more than words can convey.
