Mrs.Pugh, Rusty and all the girls,



It's times like these that make living so far from friends and family disheartening. I wish I could be there to share your sorrow.

Mr. Pugh was a wonderful man. I will always remember him having time to tweak my interest in hunting.Talking about his beagles or his rabbits. Someday I hope to see him in the "happy hunting grounds".

From my family to all of you,our deepest condolences.
