Steve, Bud and I were truly blessed when the trail we were traveling met up with your's. We had so much fun riding our horses in the high country with you as our trail boss. You took us to places that we would not have seen had it not been for you. Rain or shine we always had a great trip. We will not say goodby just see you later . You can ride Freedom across the sky for me. When I see a falling star I'll know it's the two of you.

DD & girls, you are in our prayers. Love Buddy & Vernett
