I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Bud. I've thought often of him visiting my family, LaVene, Walt and Karl.
He is still with us in heart. I know that he is having a great reunion with his family and friends and that some day we will all be together again. Colleen, my love goes out to you as these days are difficult but the days will become easier as time passes.
