Uncle Buddy, I will cherish the times that I spent with you. I will remember Psalm 91 as a chapter that you pointed out to me. I will always remember when I was 6. You and Aunt Glenda had moved to Savannah for you to continue your career in the Air Force. Before that, you and Glenda would even take me on some of your dates! I was always after y'all because I knew how much you loved me. I remember one time when y'all came home for a weekend from Savannah, you and I were walking around in the yard. You knew how much I missed y'all. So. You told me that when I heard airplane in the sky, to look up and you were in every plane I saw. Being 6 years old, I believed you! Lol! So. Everytime there was a plane in the sky I would run outside and say, I love you, Uncle Buddy!
You never told me any different! Lol! I will always the summers of fun at your and Aunt Glenda's. Remember the times we all went to Burger Chef on Augusta Road when y'all got your first house? There were no McDonalds back then! Thank you for loving me. I have the beautiful urn you picked out and gave me for my birthday in 2020. It is in my hutch in my Dining Room along with the beautiful ceramic cat that Aunt Glenda gave me. This is not good bye. Just a brief separation. I know you're there with Larry and y'all are both well now and walking those streets of gold! I love you. Thank you for blessing my life with your presence. Love you,
Linda Kay
