Terry,

I am very sorry we were unable to come to the visitation or the funeral. I would have enjoyed meeting your family.

I did not know your mother, but based on what I know of you, she must have been a very special person.

We will keep you and your family in our prayers on this day of your mothers funeral.

Sincerely,

Tom

Hi, My sister, Marianne (Buck) Hinger emailed me your Mom's death notice, and I just want to add my condolences! I have many great memories of a very sweet woman when I was a child! My Dad, George Buck, was also a fireman in Chicago many years ago. We had so many great parties and other get togethers with your family. God Bless you.
