Aunt Shirley and Family,
Our sorrow for you runs deep here in Kentucky at the loss of Uncle Buddy and Joe David. I wanted to say how remarkable your family is and has been for showing the love of Christ to me and so many others. We are praying, that now, may you be overwhelmed by Jesus' presence, His love and His faithfulness as Christ fulfills His promises to you. (For He cares for you and what you are experiencing. 1 Peter 5:7 Psalms 34:17-19; 147:3) We will continue to be lifting you up in prayers.
We love you all so much!
In God's hands,
Chris and Cindy (Westlake) Yingling

I was so sad to hear about Buddy. I've known Buddy for about ten years. I met him at the Dairy Bar at East End. He went there everyday. He was always so friendly. I just talked to him at the Shell station last week. I think he knew everyone. I will miss him. He was always so nice to talk to. Your family will be in my prayers.
I am also sorry about his son, Joe David. . Dennis was the only one we knew. I know that is a lot for the family to bear..Without God it would be unbearable. Our strength comes from Him.

I am so sorry for what the Williams family is and has gone through with the loss of their loved family members. They used to live across the street from us on Lorance Drive and I loved to go over to their home and play with their babies. I am 63 and I know their kids don't remember this. I loved Buddy and Shirley and as I grew up I also learned the meaning of respect and I respected them both. My prayers are with the family and friends of Mr. Williams.

I know that his chains have been broken and his body is healed. We shared many laughs and hugs. I always tried to take his advise. I know that he is enjoying his new home in Heaven and he didn't have to drive not one nail. My thoughts and prayers for all that he left behind.
