Betty and family: I extend my sympathy….Fond memories of our young days when Buck would come out to our place to mess with his horses…had some good times. I was shocked to see his passing. At that time, Buck and Larry Woodard were always together…good friends. Sometimes, I miss those carefree days of youth. again, my sincere sympathy.
Betty and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers for you and your family.
