When cliff and I moved here, we were fortunate enough to be neighbors to Cecil Wayne and Donna. Jason and Sara were small children and a pleasure to watch grow up. We have many good memories. God bless all of you, our forever friends. Cliff and Irma Buckingham
Paraders for the family. He was a great guy.

A father, a husband, a son no more.
Ushered from this life, to death’s open door.
A candle snuffed out, way too soon.
With those left behind, it opened a wound.
A space now void of a presence once felt.
Trying to cope with the loss they’ve been dealt.
They say a man is a man, by what he puts forth.
Yet it’s their love for him that gave him his worth.
Now gone, but he’ll never be far.
For he’ll live on forever, in each of their hearts.
Condolences to you and your family!!! No words can replaced what is lost! However, we are here for you guys! Keep in touch and let us know how we can support!!
Much love,
Rafael family!
