Dear Janet all your Sisters, Brother and your children 

On the feast day of Our Lady Immaculate Conception 8th December I went to Mass and prayed for your mom Beth as father Gerry had mentioned that she was not well and over the week I had an e-mail from my daughter Maureen and fr Gerry saying she had passed away.   May she rest in peace

My family  and me are  very privileged to have met your mom she was a wonderful kindhearted lady  and she had a wonderful sense of humor we looked forward to her coming to visit fr Louis and fr Gerry 
Maureen met her in London one year and they had a great day out 

In her earlier years coming for Wimbledon tennis and all that rain she would be knitting and watching tv I am very lucky to posses one of her long like wrap around shawl \ blanket so her memory lives on in the Finglass house also the lovely pictures she sent me of all her grandchildren and great grand children that she loved so dearly all named 

Janet my thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family today I understand how you are feeling my mothers anniversary is 10th of December 
GOD bless you all

Words cannot express our sorrow at the loss of this beautiful woman.  She was a dear friend and adopted grandmother for over 21 years.  We shared so many things in the many miles we logged commuting together in that little gold car of hers.  From the moment she met us, she extended her love, warmth and wisdom.  Though she had more than enough family to love and to love her, she graciously swept us into her circle and allowed us to become a treasured part of her life.  We got to know so many of you from the stories she shared of the many generations of her family, even her beloved Cousin Louis in England.  There were many hours of sage advice and wisdom and even a few "We'll just have to agree to disagree kid cause opinions are like noses--everybody has one!"  Her loving cards, emails and pictures always expressed how much all of you meant to her.  Each new branch on the Bufton family tree was a source of love and delight for her.  We will be forever grateful that you shared her with us.  We grieve with you and will miss her deeply.

Love,

Chris and Angie

Grandma was a wonderful person who was there for me from the beginning.  When I was in the hospital in the 8th grade from an injury and while I was healing from the incident.  Her presence will move on with me although she is not with us any more.  I love you grandma!

I will miss you grandma.  From start to finish, you were always there.  Your presence will stay on even after you have left.

My humble condolences go out to the family of Beth Bufton, who I've come to know as GGB. I was fairly young when I first met her, but upon our meeting she was so gracious and welcoming; even going the extra step to give me a hug! Getting to know her and her family over the years has shown me what true unconditional love really means. Love you GGB you will me missed.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. An Irish proverb in loving memory of my Mom.

My heart goes out to all the Buftons. Your mom was a very special person and I have lots of beautiful memories of your wonderful family.

Mom you were the best. You will be missed. Love,  Elle

Beth was a wonderful person, I had the opportunity to get to know Beth pretty good. We had some great conversations about life,Tennis,etc..  we both love to talk about tennis.  I feel fortunate to had the opportunity to know her. I will miss our conversations very much!!!

Beth always had a ready smile and found the bright side of life. She was always looking to do nice things for others and made light of her own difficulties. She was a blessing to all.  And Beth was also very blessed to have such a loving family, which was always her pride and joy, that enabled her to spend her days at home.  Our love and deepest sympathy to all of you.

To my Mom...Although my heart is sad now that your gone...I rejoice in the memories we created as a family these many years and especially the past two living together, caring for one another, and in the knowledge that you are with God in a better place...I Love you Mom

I was very, very sad to read of Beth's death. She was a very intelligent, kind, and generous person, and I will remember her always. My thoughts are there with Marilyn and the rest of the family Beth loved so dearly. It will leave such a gap in all your lives.

I did not know Beth other than meeting her once. She did have a cockatiel, so I sent her a book a friend of mine wrote about her life with her cockatiel. I hope Beth enjoyed the book. God Bless Janet, Jenna, and all the family.
