To my extended family;
Words cannot express the pain I feel especially when I go outside & shes not sitting there on the porch waiting to wave at me. God doesn't make any mistakes. Mother Buchanan holds a special place in my heart such a great woman of God & very classy. Dover Ave. will nvr be the same without the Buchanan's. Family continue the legacy & keep the Faith & everything will be alrite. But most of all I will miss her calling me"Mrs. Bell" no matter how hard I tried she would nvr call me by my first name...Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
