I'm a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Geneva and I wanted to extend my sympathies to the Buck family. Your parents both are missed by our congregation. God bless.
To the Buck Family, I am very sorry to hear Erna has passed away. She was an excellent friend to my mother, Maxine Silvestro. They both belonged to “card group”, with classmates that graduated together from Geneva High School. They were a group of ladies that enjoyed a life long, true friendship. What a beautiful, long life, well lived! My condolences to her entire family.
Reggie, Chuck & Families, I am so sorry about the passing of your mother. She and your dad were good friends to my parents. Chuck, remember the “Warriors” days? I think they are now together reminiscing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Reggie, Chuck and your families, So sorry for your loss. I really liked your mother. She was a great scout leader, always kind.
