Brown family. I haven't seen Mrs. Buens in several yrs,but my time with her was one of joy. When I began work @ North Ark. Clinic, 1967 Mrs. Grace was one of my pts. I cared for both of them until their deaths. They were a precious couple & the family were a bonded group. May God Bless all of you during your time of sorrow..

She was a friend to everyone and made the best sandwiches in town. She made an impression on a lot of lives and will be remembered and missed by many.
Her kindness to people in need is not forgotten. Rev. 14:13

I have many great memories of Buena. Growing up in Floral, Buena (and B.L.) were like second parents. I have nothing but love and respect for both. B.L., Denny and Daryl I know this will leave a large void in your lives but try to remember all the wonderful years we all were allowed to enjoy her presence. Words cannot express all that Buena and all the family have meant to me throughout my life.
