Budd Family,

We were so sadden to her that Barb had passed away. Though it has been many years since we visited with Barb we wanted you to know, Phil and I send our deepest condolence to you, Donnie and to your family.
When we think of Barb we will always remember her great smile and cherry attitude! Visiting Barb and your family at the cabin on Houghton Lake many years ago were always a fun time. What great memories Phil and I came away with from those visits. When we would stop at the restaurant in Leslie, Barb would always take a minute to stop by our table and chat no matter how busy the place was.
May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared ,comfort you now and in the days ahead
Sincerely,

Bridgett & Phil Wheeler

I didn't know Mrs. Budd, but I know her daughter-in-law, Diane. I want to convey my condolences to the whole Budd family. I know losing the matriarch of the family is hard on everyone. I can only say that I know she is sitting at the right hand of the Father in heaven and is at peace now. God offers us his love, mercy and everlasting life.
Sincerely, Lucia Franchini
