His brother Phil was my grandfather. I missed Sydney's funeral because I was taking my final exams at Wofford College. To this day, I wish I had been there to pay my respects. He had such an impact on my young life by living the values most others just talk about. Every time I think of him and of Martha and their family I can't help but smile. The world is not as full without Uncle Buddy.<BR/>Thanks again, Susan Mills JewellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30847017.post-54292914050796850282007-07-01T12:23:00.000-04:002007-07-01T12:23:00.000-04:00Thanks Bruce for writing about daddy.

I don't think the good Lord makes folks like Mr. Nat anymore. He was the salt of the earth for sure.Bruce Goddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493226984700202009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30847017.post-13052876943404699642007-06-20T22:58:00.000-04:002007-06-20T22:58:00.000-04:00Thanks Vida and Teeny for your comments.

The older I get and the more people I meet the more I appreciate the lifelong relationships and friendships like we share. Love you all.

Only recently have I found myself whistling it, as Daddy used to always do. Yes, he was the epitome of the Southern Gentleman, and I still get chill bumps when I realize just how blessed I am to be his daughter and to have lived that life as a young person. Thanks for your beautifully insightful tribute to my Daddy. Just for the record, his siblings never strayed above the "Line". His brother Phil was a surgeon in Lynchburg, Va. Sister Susan raised her brood in nearby Lovingston. Sister Lucy had to live outside the line for a time, but only because her husband was a General in the Air Force. As far as I know all of my 1st and 2nd cousins live below the line, except for Louisa, who fled Falls Church, Va. recently for Maine. Who can blame her, with all the mess that's going on in D.C.? God bless you and your family.
