I love you so much nana. Today, Tomorrow, Forever.

Your First Grandson, Khaari💜

My mother-in-love, I miss our Saturday morning conversations over tea or coffee about what the latest natural remedies we read about.  How much our plants had grown and which ones are not doing so well(my plants because your plants always thrived). You are one of the strongest women I have ever met, mentally and physically.  Always selfless with the love and sacrifices for your family. I hope everyone appreciates all you gave. I miss you, but I know you are resting with the Lord as your faith never wavered. We got it from here until we meet again. 

Your daughter-in-love

My first love , my confidant , my super hero. Oh how I miss your smile , your advices, the jokes and laughter we would commonly share. I am truly broken without you Mummy. I soothe the pain with self isolation and take that time to reflect on the memories we share. I'll continue picking up the pieces and having conversations in my head as if you're still here physically. If ever you're bored in heaven come see me , your washbelly. Walk good and save a spot for me, My Darling.

You were more than just a mother-in-law you were a second mother, and a friend. Your kindness touched my life in ways words could never capture. You welcomed me into your family with open arms and an open heart from the very first day that I met you and for that, I will be forever grateful.
Your love for your family was boundless, your strength quiet but powerful, and your presence was a comfort to everyone .
You were an amazing NaNa , a wonderful teacher to your grandchildren , and to all of you us, I will miss your gentle advice, your laughter, your stories, and the way you made even the simplest moments feel special.
Though you are no longer with us in body, your spirit lives on in our hearts  
and the memories will never fade. Thank you for everything. I hope you knew how deeply you were loved.

Rest in peace, 
Your daughter in law 
Nicole

Mrs Buckley, you always welcomed me into your home with grace and a smile. Whether it was a Christmas celebration, or Sunday dinner,  you allowed me to be a part of your beautiful family. I cannot thank you enough for how you always made me feel so good seeing how much you loved your family. May you rest in peace Mrs B.

Mr Bernie

As I write this, I’m still struggling to come to grips with the fact that you’re no longer physically here. My world feels completely shattered. I can’t begin to explain how much I miss you — our morning talks and walks, and the countless phone calls where we’d talk about everything, from what weighed heavy on our hearts to what Publix had on BOGO that week.

You were one of the few constants in my day — my biggest supporter, always speaking life and hope into me, even in my darkest moments when I struggled to receive it.

Whether it was watching Dateline on a Friday night, Dancing  With The Stars, or any of the shows you loved, I cherished those moments with you. That was our thing, and I’ll always hold them close.

If I told you I loved you a million times, it still wouldn’t have been enough. We were so blessed to have you as our mother. I will love and miss you in this lifetime and every other — and I’ll spend the rest of my days hoping to make you proud.

With all my love,
Alliboo 🤍

I remember all the stories attached to the photos. We miss you tremendously Mommy.  It's just not the same

Mommy,
You are forever with me — in my heart, in my soul, in everything I do. “Thank you” will never be enough for the endless love, sacrifices, prayers, tears, and support you gave so selflessly. You have always been the truest example of what a mother should be — strong, nurturing, and full of grace.

You always told me not to cry, but Mommy, it’s so hard not to. I miss you every second of every day. Still, I take comfort knowing you are now our guardian angel, watching over us with that same tender love.

I am forever grateful that God chose you to be my mother. Go rest now, Mommy — your work here is done.
I love you endlessly and eternally.

Your Chumpie, Your Firstborn, Your Steph ❤️

It is with a heavy heart that I offer my sincere condolences to all the children, grandchildren and extended family of Mrs. Buckley but especially to my son-in-law, Steven. my daughter, Katana and their children, Khaari and Lyger.   It is hard to lose someone you love but as time goes by you will realize the blessing in having shared the years, the love, and the memories.

May Mrs. Buckley Rest in Eternal Peace.

Iseema, you will be greatly missed. We were been neighbour's for years and established a bond enjoying our gardening. I will missed talking about our similarities of culture and age. It was a priveledge to meet your children and their beautiful family and the mutual respect between families. Most of all, our spiritual values.
Your smile, grace, and friendship will be truly missed. 

My deepest condolences to the family! May you rest in perpetual peace! 🙏🌹🌹

To the entire Buckley Family

Miss Icema was a loving mother  and grandmother and she will be missed - but not forgotten.

God bless

Stephanie and family sending prayers, hugs and my deepest condolences

Never without a smile and an encouraging word. You were a light in every presence. Exquisitely and uniquely love and kindness was your essence. I will definitely miss your ever so often presence riding the bus. All the way back from Waterford I had the honor of knowing you but became friends in Florida. It was great to have reconnected. Now you're an angel that have gained her wings and soar you will because you lived a good life filled with God's likeness in you. Fly on my dear teacher, peace and rest is now yours🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕

From :Angella Sterling. Past co- worker- Waterford Primary school 
Our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Buckley's family members. 
We pray God's continued blessings, peace and strength during this time.
Just know that your mom was caring, kind and understanding towards her co workers as well as her students.
May her soul RIP.

My  deepest condolences on the passing of Mrs. Buckley.  I love me some Mrs Buckley, she was  very kind, gentle, and filled with love for everyone around her. To me, she was like a second mother, always welcoming, caring, and soft-spoken, with a heart that touched so many lives.

Mrs. Buckley had a special way of making every young person in our community feel valued and loved. Her kindness, wisdom, and warmth left an imprint on all of us who were blessed to know her.

She will surely be missed, but her spirit and the beautiful memories she created will live on forever in our hearts. May God grant comfort and strength to the Buckley family during this difficult time, and may Mrs. Buckley’s soul rest peacefully.

Condolences to the entire Buckley family. Ms. Buckley was my neighbor when I was growing up. I remember the love she showed for her children. She was revered by  the adults and children in the community as she was a Teacher for many years. I was very close to her children and would often times go over the house to hang out and she was always down for a good laugh.

Rest well Ms. Buckley. I appreciate you welcoming me into your household. Much love and fond memories.

Mommy , there will never be enough pages , sentences or paragraphs for me to truly express how lucky/blessed and fortunate I am to have called you Mom. The bond we have is unlike anything this world have ever seen . While I will miss our random conversation, our drive outs ,  food  discoveries  and just your general company, I will keep everything you have shown and thought me directly or indirectly. I don’t know if and how I will fill this void but I do  know how you would want me to live . I love you so so so much Mommy T . 
  I pray to be half the parent and friend you were , I know your strengthening up and one day when we meet again I got the biggest hug for you , until then I’m going to do my best to be the greatest version of myself that I can be . You will never ever be forgotten Mommy , love you “ gwaan go get some rest “

Her Smile is contagious!
I always remember her stopping by my gate on her way to the neighborhood shops or on her way from school, to get a Julie mango or sometimes some fertilizers (I had bunnies) for her many, many plants. She loved plants and evidently had a green thumb. 
I vividly remember her being deeply involved in the affairs of our football team. Ensuring that we saved and collected money for team dues and probably making up the difference for us to buy, in some case, our very first football jersey. She was a mom to all the neighborhood boys, a word of encouragement and correction to some of us that needed it. A depiction of love, compassion and understanding as we navigated our tumultuous teenage yrs.
She was always soft spoken and smiling.  A gentle and kind spirited woman, an educator of generations. She helped to shape the hearts, minds and characters of so many, and we are who we are today because of the impact she had on our lives as simple as each encounter may have been. 
May her legacy and lessons live on within us and may her soul rest in peace.

With deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Ms. Buckley. During this time of sorrow, may you find peace and strength in the promises found in God's Word, and in knowing that others share in your grief. Losing someone we love is one of life’s greatest hardships, but the Bible offers a reassuring hope. Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 21:3,4 speak of a time when “death will be no more” and God “will wipe away the tears from all faces.” I also encourage you to read John 5:28,29, which speaks of a future resurrection. These verses have brought me comfort during times of loss, and I pray they do the same for you. Please accept my heartfelt condolences once again.

Dear Aunt Winsome 
You were a wonderful Aunt, who never really grew old, your smile was bright as the sunshine and your heart was solid as gold.
Rest in eternal peace 🙏🏽

Forever and ever with me and in my heart. Thank you is not enough for all the love, sacrifices, help, prayers,  tears, support that you have poured into our lives. Mommy I love you eternally and immensely. 

Your Chumpie, Your Firstborn, Your Steph
