I am shocked and so very saddened to hear of the loss of Buz. I absolutely loved that man. He was such an amazing man of God. Although it hurts so much to us left behind-Buz is enjoying dancing with Jesus! We have the assurance that we will see him once again. Your family is SO close-knit-please know that I am thinking of you all and prayers are being lifted. Love you all.
