Dear Rose and family,
Please accept our sincere sympathy in the passing of Bud. Always enjoyed his fellowship as a member of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church and your participation, Rose, as a choir member. Golf was another activity that we enjoyed with Bud for many years. We pray for the Lord’s peace and strength at this difficult time. With our love,
Kathy and Chuck Buchtrup
Sorry for your troubles
