Bud
I will always remember your visits with Aunt Verna- we never knew what
you'd drive up in but I always had a cigar when you left! You made us
all smile and feel special. Love you and will never forget you. Peace.
Love
Jean

Uncle Bud, I will always remember visiting us in your "T" Bird. You're booming laugh and ever present cigar. You will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

Uncle Bud....you will always be loved as someone very, very special.
