I just heard and was very sad to learn of the passing of my cousin, Buddy. I didn't realize he was ill. I have very fond memories of my childhood and all the times we spent with Aunt Janet, Uncle Bob, Jackie, and Buddy. Christmases were special at their house, and we visited every Xmas day. Now the whole family is gone but certainly never forgotten. Trudy and family, please accept my condolences.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Wingert Funk
