Hilary, Funny thing, I am 46 years old and square danced with you and Bud in the Merry Mixers 30 years ago. What is funny about that? You and Bud are two of only a handful of people I remember. It is because of how kind you both were and welcoming, I remember Bud taking the time to teach me steps and never lost patients with me. He was kind.....even to a kid! My thoughts are with you, I'm so sorry for your loss! Beth Byrd (Wright)

Dear Hilary, Dean, Tim & all the rest of the(my other)family,
When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.
Helen Keller, said it so much better than I could. Bud will be missed more than I can say. Please remember that we love you all and we are always close by if you need us.
Lindy, Benji & Family
