Buffy was such a treasured friend!  She was the girl who married Jim Gasal who was best man at my wedding.   They were a wonderful couple.  Thoughtful, generous, and much more.
I miss them dearly.


Buffy was a wonderful neighbor at Oak Hall. She was kind and generous and always had a sense of humor about herself. She had an infectious giggle. Buffy was dedicated to her visits with Jim her last few years here. I miss her.

Buffy and her husband Jim were for more than sixty years among my closest and most  treasured friends, so I want their family and friends to know this.  

They were a big part of my life.   Jim was best man in my wedding,  and I stood at Jim and Buffy's wedding a few years later.   We always kept in touch - at their home in Johnson County,  at my home for an annual Kentucky Derby Day celebrations, at their condo at Oak Hall,  and finally visiting them at their extended care residences. 

I remember Buffy as such a warm, kindhearted  friend.  She may have been a God parent of one of my three children - I don't remember which anymore,  but I do remember she picked one of them as her favorite.   Buffy was a joy to know!  I'll bet she was a wonderful grandmother too. 

Dear family of Buffy Gasal, 
I am sending my condolences for the great loss in your family.  My mom, is a neighbor and friend of Buff.  She was a beautiful lady.    Buff had a infectious smile.  Her smile could light up the room.  She is greatly missed!  
Sending healing thoughts and prayers to you all.
with great sympathy,  
Sandy Shaffer

I  live at The Forum of Overland Park.  I am a hall neighbor and friend of both Buffy and Jim.  I was so shocked and saddened to learn of her passing.  She was a wonderful lady and friend to all of us here.  She was a fabulous and caring wife to Jim, for many years.  It was very hard for her, after Jim passed.  Jim was a great guy.
I send my deepest sympathies to your family.  Buffy is with Jim once again.  She was a lovely lady, and will be greatly missed by all, who where lucky enough to have known her.  Many blessings to you all!
Gerry Roberts (neighbor & friend)

Elizabeth and David, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom.  Buffy was a terrific person and a wonderful friend.  I know this must be a difficult time for you both.  Please know she was an amazing person, who I appreciated spending time with for all the many and various projects we worked on together for your class at Sunset.   Buffy was always so generous with her time and a pleasure to have know for all these years.  May the loving memories of your Mom bring you comfort during this difficult time.   All my best to you both - Susie

Seeing this picture of Buff makes me realize how much light has gone with her.  She and Jim were always there at church, together, until they weren't. Its very sad now. It won't always be but losing your mom is about as tough as it gets and it takes as long as it takes to get to the place where all the memories are and will be. I'm sorry for this sadness. I wish you peace.
