Dear Cecilia, Steve, Mary and Joe, the Budahn family just learned of the loss of your dear father. He was truly gifted and blessed by his devotion to your mom and his children. I'm sure when he arrived at heavens gate he was greeted with "well done good and faithful servant". I'm sorry we were not there to see you all but wanted you all to know you are in our prayers and hearts. Love Sharon Budahn Jones (Shell & James Waters), Phil Budahn, Michael Budahn, Julie Budahn Hill.
