Buddy, Gail and the rest of the family. My sympathies are with all of you at this time of sorrow. I know the feeling as I went through it with my mom (Aunt Anna). You know she is in a better place and not suffering, but it doesn't make it any easier knowing she's gone. Take care of each other.

Bud, Gail, Wendi and Brad,
I am sorry for the loss of your mom and grandmother. One never really knows the right words to say at a time like this. I just want you to know that I am always here for you day or night. I hope you find comfort knowing she is no longer suffering and her and Willie are reunited.
Many prayers coming your way,
Sue and family
