Oh no.  Searching for Scott and found out about Buck.  You're in my thoughts Beth.  You are a darling woman.

Mrs Gillian,
I just read in the Tuscola Paper of Mr. Gillians passing.  I remember  growing up and spending time at your house with Julie and of course Scott and Cute little Nancy we had alot of fun, Mr. Gillian would always just laugh and smile at us, I know I was a silly little girl and probably drove you crazy.  I have very fond memories of your family and growing up next to you.  I am sorry to hear Mr. Gillian suffered and from reading other peoples memories you were right by his side as always.  I want you to know I will keep you in my prayers and I have thought of you and Mr Gillian and Scott and Nancy  often and I have dearly missed Julie as she was a great friend.   God Bless!  Love Cindy McDuffee Stevens

Beth,
          Donna & I are so sorry about Buck. I had a  great time working for him as a marshall at the LPGA & bowling with him. He was one of the people in my life that I always looked up to & respected.

God Bless,
Steve

Beth & Family, We pray that Christ will strengthen you at this time. "For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Cor. 10). We always enjoyed seeing and talking with the two of you at Panera.  Buck always had a smile on his face even if he wasn't feeling the best.  I remember seeing him at Kohl's one day buying earrings for Beth, he was as excited as a young man looking for a special gift for the love of his life.  It has been a blessing getting to know the two of you, our Panera friends. We will continue to lift you up in prayer.

Beth, Brent and family: Buck and I enjoyed some fishing and golf together. He was a solid man and great mentor!

Beth and Buck have been wonderful neighbors,an inspiration to all of us who are much younger.They've always been busy keeping up the yard and home and staying active and involved. Even though the past few years have been difficult,they always kept busy together,and whenever possible,Buck would be on his riding mower,smiling and waving as he mowed not only his yard,but neighbors.
 We're sure that if there's a mower and golf course in heaven,he's already found them.
 We hope that comfort can be found now by celebrating his life and remembering the love and devotion he had for Beth,his family, friends--and even" Gunther".
 Sincerely,Dennis,Rita and family

Beth, I was so sorry to hear of Bucks passing. I remember him as a Marshall at the LPGA Tournament at the Rail, and also the day he received The Volunteer of the Year Award. He voluntered for many years. He was very deserving of that award. Peace be with you and your family, I will keep you all in my prayers.

Beth, Friendship Circle is sharing your grief at this time.  We know this has been a difficult time for you and we are sad.  We do admire the commitment and love you provided Buck during his time of declining health.  We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you adjust to your "new kind of normal".  We love you!

Beth, so sorry about the loss of your beloved husband "buck".  My prayers are with you at this sad time and remember he is with his Savior now and at peace.
Remember that God gives us lots of good memories to treasure in our hearts.

Fondly, Sharon Nation

My heart goes out to you; it hasn't been an easy time. I'll continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.
