We are so sorry for your loss of a dear,
kind man. He will be missed by so many people in so many different ways.
Bud & I were out of town until late Monday night, and I’m just sick that I could not be there for you as you’ve been for me in the past. I’m sorry to have also missed the opportunity to see your daughters and Mark.
God bless all of you with comfort and a peace only He can give. Love, Lynette
