My prayers are with all of you. I spoke with Shirley right after Bud passed away and we had planned to have lunch sometime soon. She did not mention that she was having additional health problems. I'm so sorry, she was truly a good friend and person. I had a really nice visit with both of them last summer.

I knew Shirley and Bud when I was a young boy in Roanoke and I have always held fond memories of the times we shared - always laughing. My prayers are with the family of a wonderful lady and a great man.
Sincerely,
James Fletcher
