"Uncle Bud....I am so sorry to hear about Linda. I just found out yesterday! I sure do know what it is to loose a spouse. My husband has been gone 8 yrs. Please accept my sympathy & prayers. Love you always, Helen (Presley) Bray.

"Dear Bud, 8-26-10We just heard about Jane. I'm SO sorry to hear it. When I spoke with her a few minutes the end of July I knew she was very weak.I had talked to R.L. the end of June; he shared what the doctor had told you. Please accept our deepest sympathies Bud. I printed her obituary from the internet. We thought an awful lot of both of you even though we didn't get to be around you often. We'll always remember the great time we had at the community center that July 4th in Mississippi. Before we came to AZ in April, 2007, we'd visited my brother in Walnut Ridge in March. Came by your home but no one was there. Sure hate that we missed you. She was a sweet lady and we thought the world of her.
