Rachel and family,
My deepest sympathy about the loss of Bud, a husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. Certainly, he lives with us in memory and will for evermore.
I am so sorry I was unable to attend the funeral. It was a blessing that Rachel was able to attend and express our sadness and grief over the passing of her beloved grandfather.
May peace be with everyone in this time of sadness.

Dear Alice, Barb, Tom and Shannon_
So sorry to hear about Uncle Bud. We wish we could be there for you on Friday, but know that we are thinking about you and praying for you all. I remember so well coming over to your house in Navarre and swinging on the tire swing and having Bud and our dad take all of us fishing in some channel of the lake out there.
God Bless and comfort you!

Barb,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your father. Losing anyone is a very sad event in a persons life. When I lost my father some years back, I found comfort in knowing that we loved each other. While we never talked much (dad was never a talker like son), we were always there for each other as I know you have been. My family will keep you in their prayers.
God bless,
Eric
