Dear Red Buffalo,
Even though you are not here on Earth with us anymore, you have a permanent (and quite massive) place in my heart. Thank you for taking me camping and passing on your love of plants, animals and nature. Thank you for teaching me how to swim, dive, ride a bike, mow a lawn, drive, shop a flea market, take care of my pets and about a million other things. There was never a dull moment living life with you! From the flea market and boxing days to the landscape, Fun Time, Big Wheel and Save the Cats days...you've done it all and we've been right there with you on your adventures. You were a great man with a strong faith who impacted many lives. To say I am proud to be your daughter is an understatement. I have inherited so many wonderful traits from you including my sense of humor, determination, work ethic, compassion, out-of-the-box thinking, discernment and spirit of bold independence. I am so very thankful for the 48 years I had with you. Thank you for your commitment to our family and for always expressing your love. Thank you for always taking an interest in my life and for being so supportive of me and everything I've done. You have always been my hero and I hope to live my life to make you proud. Please talk me up in heaven so I can see you again some day. I may be on shaky ground with the big guy. I love you Daddy. Always.
Your Baby,
Crista Lugene (AKA Mountain Flower)
