Buck Sommerkamp Slideshow and Memorial

For those of you who aren’t on Facebook, I’m posting a link here to Buck’s slideshow and memorial service. Even if you watched the livestream through the funeral home, this video has much better quality in case you want to watch again. I’ve also added a brief clip of Buck just before the 36-minute mark that we wanted to show yesterday but were unable to because of the funeral home’s audio limitations. 

There has been such an outpouring of love through gorgeous flowers, generous donations, and texts, phone calls, and waves of supportive social communication that’s helping me cope with this incredible loss. Thank you all so much for everything.
