GUEST BOOK

We are very said for your loss, but know Mrs. Buxton is in Heaven smiling down on her beautiful legacy of her family. Love, Sandy & Steve Sember

- Sandy & Steve Sembler, St Pete, FL

Barbara, Charles and I were saddened to learn about your dear Mother's passing away. The last time we saw her was at St. John's, inside the Green Meldrim House, and that has been a while. She loved conducting tours of the house and did a fine job of it. Long ago I would stop in the Colony Bookshop and come away with a readable treasure on her recommendation. Elaine created good memories for all who met her. Julia and Charles Williams

- Julia J. Williams, savannah, GA

Cecile, Our deepest sympathies in your time of loss. The thoughts and prayers of our entire family are with you and yours, Mike, Ann, Ashley, Scott and Mike Jr.

- Michael and Ann Mezack, Tampa, FL

Bobby and I are so very sorry for this loss. In my memory I cannot recall a time that I met your Momma that she was not happy, gentile and loving. We have been gifted with the world's greatest sister-in-law in Cecile and I know that in no small measure we have Elaine to thank for that. Through Cecile and Barbara her inner and outer beauty live on, as it also does in her beautiful grandsons & granddaughters. As always, when we lose someone we love - and I would think most especially our Mother, we have to focus on the fact that the converse measure of our grief is how great our love for our Mother is. That your grief is enormous,heavy and hard to bear, is a testimony to the wonderful woman and Mother that she was and to your love and joy at having her for your Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Wife or Friend. Keep that thought close to all of your hearts. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we are thankful that your Momma is no longer suffering.
