  10. We are certainly thinking of the family during these times of grief. I got to know the family while my dad (Paul Dotson) was pastor at Brush Ck. Church. Lots of good memories. Bud was very helpful and supportive to my family and we appreciate that. He ask my dad once where he could go and kill a deer, dad told him where his favorite place was, so Bud went there that day and killed a big buck. There were many good laughs about ‘Bud killing the preacher’s deer’. Keep your eyes on the Lord, His timing is perfect, He never makes a mistake, and His grace will be more than enough to see you through. Sincerely, Wayne,Jill,& Lettie Dotson. Sharon Wright
