Dear Lorraine and family,

I continue to remember and cherish the opportunities Sister Margaret Clare and I have had over the past years to get to know you and Bud and members of your family. All of you have my deepest sympathy. Bud was a delight to be around, full of joy and surprises. He loved living. I will always remember especially his blue eyes and smile - both had a magical twinkle. Love and prayers.

-Sister Marjorie Ann Eisenmenger (Greenfield, WI)
