Dear Kaye, Joshua, Jordan and the rest of the Buis family. I met Tim when they were dating and Kaye and I worked together, they were such a sweet couple. I attended their wedding it was a small lovely wedding on the campus. After they moved back to Tim's home then I lost touch with them until I found them on Facebook. I am glad I did. I was able to send comfort in prayer and words of encouragement. Joshua and Jordan you're momma will really need you and you will need her. Stay a close knit family that you are. I will be praying for you all in the days ahead. May God Bless you all with peace and comfort.
