Dear Mary Ann, Rhonda, Mike, Wendy, Shae, and Justin. We are so thankful for the time we have had together as our families become more entwined. We surely will miss Papa Bud and pray that the deep void in our lives will be filled with all the good memories of him and his big old contagious smile!

I love you, I miss you, but most of all I thank you. I thank you for being so incredibly good to me and my children and for always being there no matter what. My life was truly better with you in it.

Mrs. Gillespie, Mike, I was sorry to hear about your loss. We did not spend a lot of time together, but when we played golf together with Mike, he always treated me like a friend. Not necessarily a sons friend.
