Family encompassed
To my last and only link to the past of my fathers father… You were a stoic man and have given me the courage to seek out my family as well as to not give up seeking out the answers! Much obliged uncle Bud! To the many faces you will see on your path make sure you rock them all and tell my pop pop and mom mom I said hello and I love them dearly. No time shall heal those wounds but I’m thankful to have them because without them means that I gained nothing through them. Many thanks again and Godspeed !!!!!
Goodnight my friend. I will
Goodnight my friend. I will miss you terribly. All of our talks and all you taught me in just the few short months I was blessed to know you and Joan. In this I have great hope that I am confident I will see you again when it’s my time to meet Jesus. Love you Bud.
Good Friend.
A good heart has stopped beating. But a heart that had touched so many lives can't help but live on in those in love. I will miss you and I will see you again when it's my time to meet Jesus. Love you Bud.
