  1. Bernice and Kim, My heart nearly broke when I got the email that Bud had died on Friday but in the next moment God reminded me where he was, home with our Lord and savior. I am so blessed to have known Bud for so many years. Bud was a wonderful example of how we should lead our lives. He was one of the most humble people I will ever know. Most Importantly I rejoice in knowing that we will only miss him for a short while, because we too have that blessed assurance that we will see him in heaven.

  2. Dear Bernice and Kim,

    Jessie and I wish to express our deepest condolences to both of you. Bud was an inspiration to so many people and he will be sorely missed. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

  9. Bernice:

    Some of my fondest childhood memories are of our time with Averys Creek United Methodist Church. You and Bud helped to provide the light, joy, and guidance of those formative years. It does take a village and I am very blessed to have had you and Bud as part of that village. I cannot begin to tell you how much respect my parents had for both of you. During this season of thankfulness, I am most thankful that I have those memories. Love and comforting prayers are extended to you and Kim and your family at this time.
