Eddie, I don't know if you will remember me but I am Mr Buck's daughter . I knew your mom and Mr Marvin a long time and want to tell you and your family how sorry I am for your loss. Your mom was a great person and I remember her as being fun loving and caring and very giving. She will be missed very much.

Eddie & Beth,
My heart and prayers are with you at this difficult time, we will miss her very much. I will always remember that she woulnd't let me get up from the dinner table unless I ate my green peas! I sat there for over an hour. I never ate the peas. I will always have fond memories of her in the kitchen at your house and the camp. Love You.
