I loved her so much. She was so nice, kind, and funny. I am so sad to see her go, and wish I had more time with her. I know its strange that two years later I am commenting this, put I had too. I wish my brother and sisters had more time with her.

To those who loved Mrs.Buchanan, I offer my condolences for the loss of a beautiful woman (one of the prettiest of St. George mothers). Ken D'Arcy

Dear Bob,
I am sad to learn of Jane's passing. I recall the time I dropped in for an unexpected visit and she was so hospitable running out for snacks. My regret is we never spent much time together. She was so sweet and kind. My sincere condolences and prayers for you and your sons.
Your cousin,
Sharon

Bob,

I am sorry to hear of Jane's passing. It has been too many years since we have visited with one another. I know that both you and Jane made some fond memories with my parents (Loretta and Bernie Jayo) at "Buchanan Real Estate." Please accept this note of condolence. Janet Jayo

Bob, Bobby, Mike & Rory,

Words cannot express my feelings of joy to have had your mother as part of my life. She joins a big group of our beloved relatives in the Kingdom of the Lord. I send my prayers, but she does not need them for her place in Heaven was reserved many years ago. May God bless all of you and comfort you in this time of grief. Remember the good times.
