Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts.

Pam, I want to send my sincere condolences, to you and your family. I know you and Bud had a rough time, this past year, and I know Bud is in a better place, but that, certainly, doesn't take away from how much you are going to miss him....you are still in my thoughts and prayers. Judy
