Uncle Buddy was a true gem. He was like a father to my Daddy. I will miss him but happy to know that goodbye doesn't mean forever to those who are saved. Praying that the Lord will give strength, comfort, and peace in the hearts of all those who are hurting from this loss.

When my Pawpaw arrived in Heaven the first thing on his mind was to make up for all the long Lost Years. His loved ones he did find greeted him with his pole. Then took his hand, and walked with him to Heavens fishing hole. The Bass were Huge, the Crappie Grand. "Hey pawpaw, please save some fish for us, We'll all be with you soon" So until one day, we meet again down here on earth we'll wait until the time we cast our lines, In Heaven's fishing hole. I miss and love you BIG!!
