Dear Buck & Family,
I was truly saddened to wake up and open the paper to see Faye's face. My thoughts began to flood my mind. I know Mom was there to show her the beauty on the other side. I will hold many many dear memories of all us girls playing and you Buck having to put up with a house full of women. But those are memories I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I love you all and my prayers are with you as you remember the good ole days! God bless and keep you all.
Love,
Ruth Ann
