Dear Flossie,
You might not recall us, but we met you and dear Bud while volunteering at the Jazz Festival several times in the past. We recall Bud and you as very sweet and fun-loving, young-at-heart individuals. Bud will be sorely missed. We feel you and your family were very blessed to have had him in your life. We pray your grief will ease quickly in the days ahead.
God bless you and yours,
Darrell & Teresa
