To Wesley, your Mom and your sisters-
I am sorry about Bud. I enjoyed getting to know him when we picked Wesley up at his house and while I would work at the flower shop. I learned how much he loved his daughters and his grandkids. And he sure did have stories to tell about many different experiences!!
I have been thinking of all of you and wish you all the best.
