Aunt Kitty and family, my thoughts and prayers are for all of you. I will forever keep the fond memories of Uncle Buck close to my heart, and how he always greeted me with "hello Sissy Ann" my childhood nickname. He will be greatly missed, and my love goes out to all of you at this most difficult time.
