I will never forget my wonderful memories of Bud and Lou. I feel very blessed that I was at the right church at the time to get to know them. Bud baptized me and I spent many hours in the classroom with him. If you needed him, he was always there, with a smile. You are all in my prayers, may God be with you.April (Lang)Curl
