Buddy,
My heart was saddened when I got the news of your passing. I haven't had a buddy that stole my heart the way that you did. I loved the way that you smiled, arms out, when I came over. You really made my day. The tea and cookies and laughs. I will cherish that forever. Bill, I really was hoping that you made it to 100. That was our plan. Thanks for the support in my artwork and the love you always showed me and my family. I am sad that I didn't get to come to your funeral, but I know I will see you again. Love you so much Buddy. ðŸ˜
Vivian,
You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers at the death of your father.
