We will forever miss Uncle Bud. He used to always tell me "She's got freckles on her but she's pretty"....I would always say, "I don't have freckles on my butt"...I do have them everywhere else though...lol....Took me a long time to realize what he was saying....I love you uncle Bud, see you soon in the clouds. Praying for all my cousins Angela, Sandy, Tammy & Darrell Wayne. Love you all.
