I am so very sorry to hear about Buddy. I'm the office manager at the Virginia Cancer Institute and took to Buddy the first day I met him . I wish I would have know sooner, so I could have attended the service. Buddy was very brave everytime he came to our office; no matter what news he got. I loved helping him in the office and walking him back to his car. He had the "favorite patient" status with me. He will be very missed by all of the staff here as well. He finally had us all trained to not say "Mr. Collins", but just Buddy.

God Bless,
