Our condolences to Patsy and family on the loss of our cousin, Buddy (via the Walkers). We still remember the 1959 Ford Galaxie he sold to our parents that had a special feature on it (a cutout it was called, I believe). Our late brother, Melvin, used to like to race that car. I'm sure Buddy is being welcomed to his heavenly abode by our parents, Robert & Eula and our brother, Melvin, as well as his fellow race drivers who have gone on before him. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
