Camille and family, I was so sorry to read about your dad's passing! I know how difficult this has to be for you. He was always so nice, and made me feel so welcome when I visited your house! My prayers are with you all at this time.

I just learned of Mr. "Buddy"s passing and want to extend my sympathy to Barbara and all of his family and loved ones. It was an honor for me to participate in his care while he was in the hospital. I am so glad that his wish to go back "home" was able to be fulfilled. He was able to talk to me a little bit on his last day here, and I'll keep that memory close to me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to learn of Buddy's death. He was always one of my favorite cousins. My sympathy goes out to his loving children, grandchildren, and great grand children as well as his sister, Camille. It's been years since I saw him but cherish the memories we shared in our younger years.

My deepest sympathy to his family. God has gained anothe Angel in Heaven. I was part of a counting team at St. Andrew with Buddy, our Sunday evening talks were enjoyable and created fond memories. God Bless Buddy and his family, he will be missed.
