Ellen,
Thoughts & prayers are with you dear friend. You are loved and Bud will be remembered always. I'll remember him as a strapping gent in a tux with a cocktail. Needless to say, many memories of laughter and love.
Love you...

Dear Ellen,
It was with great sadness that I learned of Bud's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of the two of you. I remember lot's of wonderful times in your apartment in new York, in your place in Santa Monica and of course your wonderful house in New Orleans. The joy that the two of you shared was seen by all. I send much love and hugs to you dear friend.
Take care,
Maxine

Dear Ellen,
I'm talking with Maxine right now, she just heard about Bud's passing. We are reminiscing about all the wonderful memories of you and Bud. We love you, and found such joy in the happiness that you and Bud brought to each other. lovingly, Gale

What a special person! Our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,

Ellen, Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your loving family. Your husband was a very fortunate and special person to have you by his side. With much love, Cynthia and Ames

Ellen, I am so sorry for your loss of Bud. I didn't know until now. I didn't know Bud well, but he struck me as a very kind and a very gracious man. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We as a family will always remember the great times we had at the Fair Grounds betting on the horses and just enjoying being together. We will miss Bud vey much. Jim and Jaynell
