Sandy, Stacia, and April - You are in our thoughts and prayers and we pray you feel the Savior's love for you and your family. Buddy is a special cousin. My memories of him start when I was a little boy and cover a span of over 60 years. I always looked up to him and in many ways saw him as an older brother. His smile and the twinkle in his eyes are forever etched in my heart. Our love to you always -Dave and Bonnie Droddy-
