Mrs. Dudding & Suzette, My heart is broken for you. All of my memories of Mr. Dudding bring a warm smile and usually a belly laugh. He was such a vibrant part of our childhood and teen years and beyond. I loved the notes he'd send at Christmas and at random other times to catch me up on the grandkids and tell other funny tales. I'll miss him being on this Earth. Sending you love and wishing you strength and peace.
