Condolence: Buck Wells was a true pillar of the Bakerton community. When he was absent for some health issue, the question bounced from neighbor to neighbor: Where's Buck, when is he due back? When he sat in a chair in front of the Bakerton Market, my Chihuahua Mix (Tater Tot) would make a leap to sit in his lap. No one else was so honored.

Condolence: I'm so truly sorry. My heart hurts for the pain of your loss. Since Jesus compared death to sleep (John 11:11-14), something that brings me comfort is knowing that there is no cozier & safer place to be than taking a 'nap' in God's memory until the time he promises to awake these loved ones we have lost in death to be reunited with us (John 15:28,29), right here on an earth restored to his original purpose of perfect peace, health, & happiness (Psalm 37:11). And the fact that He then promises to get rid of death forever, tenderly wiping away all the tears it has caused (Isaiah 25:8), so we never have to worry about losing our beloved ones again. What a beautiful day that is to look forward to, being able to once again hold these ones we love & miss so dearly in our arms, & be held in their arms again too, & to know we can then do so under such perfect conditions forever. (Psalm 37:29) I pray God gives you comfort, peace, & strength to get through until that time. It's just around the corner. Every day that passes is one day closer. Sending hugs.
