Sending condolences and my love to the whole Bueckert clan. No matter whether it is time or not, it is always difficult to lose someone so special and someone you love so much. Your Mom will always hold a special place in my heart. As I reflect back on my childhood, I realize that your MOM was the pillar of your family and a very progressive thinking woman for her times. Your MOM was also my second MOM. I was always treated to feel like I was one of her own and in fact your whole family made me feel like I was the fifth sibling. I thank her and your family for all the great times growing up. I know it is very difficult right now, but as time passes you will find comfort in knowing that she lived a great life with the best family one could imagine.
