I knew it would be inevitable but when it became too obvious to be not able to keep you here near Peggie, Sandra, Susan, Sharon and all of your family including me it was a saddest Morning. God needed you more up in Heaven, I know, and you are no longer suffering, that's our solace. Goodbye Buck, You will be forever remembered until I come up there and give you a hug. I will visit you at Greenleaf often. Love, Rieko

Just saw a post on Jason's page - I am so very sorry to hear about Buck. The fond memories of him and my Daddy will make me smile forever. Such a shock to hear especially with the holidays here. I will keep all of the family in my prayers - I am so happy that Peggy has so many strong shoulders to lean on and her three daughters for support. And to the grandchildren, so sorry that you guys have to go through this again. Family is precious and fragile - please let me know if I can do anything for any of you - and I truly mean that. Love and hugs to all.
