Dear Buckner Family,

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Uncle Cecil. He was always so joyful and upbeat. May God strengthen and sustain you all during this season of bereavement. Take comfort in knowing that the scripture has been fulfilled: "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." We are praying your strength in the Lord.

So many memories of working with Cecil at the Highway Department. He could always put a smile on anyone's face. Also enjoyed hearing him sing, heard the Golden Tones many times. Thinking and praying for your family during this time. Rhonda Slinker Nichols

Cousins, our hearts go out to you and we stand with you with our sorrow. We celebrate knowing and being in the presence of this great soul. It was always a joyful and spirt filled time, to many to mention. Our relief is knowing we will all gather again in God's will.

With all the love we have, The Bumgardner Family
