We will all miss your dear mother so much. She was like a foundation rock in our lives. She was very influential not only in our lives, but also in the lives of our children. Whether it was a raised eyebrow or a warm hug, we always knew she loved us and wanted the best for us. Her faith in Christ was and always will be a light to us. I know she is rejoicing in heaven and more alive than she has ever been. Our hearts and prayers are with each of you. Cy and Dan

Carroll and Janice Myer send their Deepest Sympathy to the Hudson family. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers. Richard and Frieda were those special people that God put in our lives back in 1976 when they sold to us the Ramada Inn which we owned and operated for 12 years. We have the deepest respect for both Richard and Frieda. It is not easy to lose a loved one but the Lord gives us comfort during these trying times. God's Blessings to all of your family.
