I just wanted to say how blessed that I am to have had the opportunity to work with Bud. I enjoyed taking care of him and listening to his war stories of the army. I will cherish those memories. He made me laugh and I will miss him dearly. Thank you Randy and Mary for given me the opportunity to take care of Bud. It's been a pleasure working for him and helping him in any way that I could.
