I WAS SORRY TO HEAR THAT BUDDY HAS DIED, HAVEN’T HEARD FROM HIM IN YEARS. MY DAUGHTER ANN SAW THE NOTICE IN HER PAPER AND CALLED ME AND ASKED ME WHY I HADN’T TOLD HER ABOUT BUDDY DYING AND I TOLD HER I HADN’T HEARD ABOUT IT MYSELF. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE FUNERAL BUT I WON’T BE ABLE TO AS FAR AS I KNOW RIGHT NOW. LOVE TO ALL OF YOU AT THIS TIME, AUNT DOROTHY.
thoughts and prayers with all of you during this time of grief. Buddy was such a kind and loving guy- full of compassion for all those around him. We grew up together and worked on the farm together as young teens- He and his family meant so much to all of us. May you have comfort in the days ahead as you remember him. Love & Prayers- Dean & Betty Jo Strickland
