    Mr. Buchman & Reilly Family
    My Wife Robin and Were very saddened to hear of Mrs. Buchman’s passing, and though we never got to really know Mrs. Buchman, we sure know Mr. Buchman, & your Father Mr. Glenn Reilly, know only a Great person could be married to two such fine gentlemen.
    I know Mr. Buchman from Trinity Methodist Bible Study as well as Hackettstown High School, and Mr. Reilly from the Hackettstown Middle School, Fire Department & First Aid Squad, he was truly Mr. Hackettstown, & has been so missed.
    We know these words can never ease the pain of the reality of your Wife, Mom’s passing, but please know we have you all before our FATHER in Heaven asking that HE provide the Comfort only HE can, through Jesus Christ our LORD.
    GOD Bless, Love
    Paul & Robin Wallace
