Not sure what to say?

Dear Carrah, Craig and Cassie

Bud was a man with many titles and ours was Uncle. We have many fond memories of Bud. He was and is one of my favorite uncles along with Uncle Donnie who just passed away last Wed.When I tried to call Bud there of course was no answer so went on the Internet and found out that he also had passed.
