Wish I could be with you in the difficult days ahead. I would love to see you all together and will share your sorrow. I am so glad I was able to see Bud just a few weeks ago when he was well enough to take care of himself while Betty got out for a day of slots. I will be home next week and we will make a day of it again in Bud's honor. I sure hope he gives us his blessing. Love you all, and tell him I'll miss him.
