Ms Buzz was a special person and was loved by so many at Bethel Presbyterian Church. Her smile, kind words, and servant heart touched many of my generation, our kids, and some grandkids. She and Bill modeled what marriage, parenting, and serving our Lord looked like!!
I recently had the privilege of visiting and talking with Ms Buzz and some of her family, her kindness was still seen in her eyes!!
Prayers and hugs to Connie, Steve, and Robin and all the family.
