Lynda, we are sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May peace and comfort be with you!
Ms. Buzzell and family,
You don’t know me, but I need to tell you that my heart breaks for you. Your loss is so devastating. I am part of a truck driving family and have experienced many sleepless nights over the years. I am from Plummer, MN and the worst part of the whole frightening experience of the crash was the loss of life. My prayers are with you. God will give you strength to do one day at a time. I found the obit and looking at his picture, he looks like he was a wonderful person. Again, I feel your pain. God bless you all.
