Cousin Daisy and Family, so sorry for your loss. Enjoyed so much my visit with you and Bud a year or two ago. God Bless you and all the Family. Sorry we are unable to be with you during this sad time.
Daisy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. Just know that he is in a better place and isn’t suffering. He couldn’t have asked for a better person to be his wife. God Bless you and your family.
We all want you to know how sorry we are to hear about your loss. If there is anything we can do to help out please give us a call.
Love Becky From Long Johns
Dear Caroleen,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. My thoughts and Prayers are with you..
Dear Luther’s,
Several of my uncle’s have passed recently and it seems that what made our family feel better was hearing and reading about what an impact they had made in other people’s lives. When my uncle, Neil Webb, passed away, Bud and Terry came to the funeral home. Of course just their presence was a blessing, but Bud was so friendly and charming that it made a sad situation so much brighter. He made us smile that night and I will always appreciate that. I hope reading this story makes you all smile, just like Bud made us smile.
Love,
Shelley Morrow

We are so sorry to learn about Bud. It is as if another member of our own family has passed. It has been a privilege to know Bud and we will miss him so much.
I am so sorry to hear about Bud. He will surely be missed by so many. He is one of a kind. He made me smile, with a simple hug ,on so many days when other wise I would have frowned. I will love and miss him forever.
May God Bless your entire family during this time. It’s comforting to know that Hilbert is not suffering and is in such a beautiful place, where he can be his ole’ self, and smiling down upon you all.
You are in our hearts and prayers if there is anything that the family needs please let us know.
We love you!!!

I’m very sorry for your loss. May God Bless you and keep you all thru this difficult time. Bud was a wonderful man. I remember many days when I worked at Ingles that he would come in just to agervate me while he picked up a few things. He was always a joy and was always happy. Shelly Vaughn
