Dear Dorothy,
We are thinking of you and your family today, and will throughout the days and weeks ahead. I was sorry to learn yesterday, from my Mom, of Bud's passing.
I will always remember Bud for his strong and outgoing personality, his laughter, and his many talents. It was such a remarkable kindness when he hand carved the beautiful walking cane for my dad, years ago. Dad used it daily for eight years, and everywhere he went, people admired it, and asked where he had gotten it. It is a family treasure now, and such a fine remembrance of Bud's talent and generosity, and of your family's ongoing friendship for the past fifty plus years.
Please give our sympathy and sincere condolences to Dick, Ed, Tim, and all of your family. You have been through a lot lately, and I wish you rest and peaceful serenity. Please know that we care about you. I will come to visit you the next time I that I am "home", visiting in Tucson.
In continuing friendship.....and sincerely.... Jacque and Mike Bagnall
