    Hey Colby ,
    Just giving you a virtual hug (not the best, I know) and praying for you and your family in the loss of your dad. We are ALWAYS too young to loose our parents. I know that by experience. May God hold you close and may the memories of all that your dad was and the hope of heaven sustain you in this time of grief.

    Lovingly,
    Ruth (& Mark) Davidson

    We are saddened to hear of Budds passing. We both worked with Budd at the IRS. He was a pleasure to work with & to be around. He & Betty were true friends & Betty was a part of our IRS family. Our deepest sympathy to Betty & family.
