To Carole, Debra, Erica, Jesse, Kassi and all the rest of the family. To everyone I knew and those I did not. I pray that God has his loving healing hand around your and all of Bud's family and friends that miss him so much. Lean on God's understanding and not your own as you all have to go on without him. It sounds like he taught his kids and grandkids and great grandkids lots of life's lessons. He knew some day that he would have to leave this earth and wanted to impart his wisdom with you all. So, make sure each and every day to use it. Remember him by eating his favorite foods or doing the things he liked to do. This is how we celebrate each others lives. God will help you get through this and one of the great things to think about is that he is now with Chad whom I know he missed so much. In time we will all see our loved ones, it's just a matter of patience. Sending loving thoughts in this time. The poem attached should be seen in the eyes of his family and friends.
