There are a myriad of memories that flood my mind when thinking of you, Uncle Buzz. Amongst these are the happy times that we spent around the table at the Haunted Hamburger there in Jerome, Arizona, overlooking the Sedona Valley, when you and Aunt Rose Ellen came to Phoenix to visit with Brenda, Barb, Jim, and I. The pillow love fight with our girls, the gentle and tender way that you expressed your Love to Aunt RoseEllen, and most of all, your love for the Lord. We are not those who mourn without Hope, for we know that where you are, you are Home, with Hope Himself, Jesus. We will see you again, we love you, and will miss you until we are home with you. Rest in Heaven, Uncle Buzz.
First I want to tell you how much I love you, Aunt Rose Ellen💕 you are so very important to me. I was thinking about all the memories I have with you and Uncle Buzz. First thing that comes to mind is the pillow fight that he started with Liane the first day we met him. And the many pillow fights they had. The girls both enjoyed those very much. Next our cruise- what a fabulous time we had even though at one point he threatened to throw me over when he realized I was scared of water! He said I could learn to swim. 😅 Then when David and I were in Arizona and you guys came to spend the time with us. And then when I came and surprised you guys. All your kids knew I was coming and not even Mark let it slip. Uncle Buzz told me he was glad to show me the military area and the Cabrillo National Monument. He then showed me the ocean. So many of my favorite memories include you and Uncle Buzz. I am so glad to have made them with you and Uncle Buzz.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
