There was never Uncle Bud without Joyce Ann nor Joyce Ann without Uncle Buddy! As long as I can remember you both talked about going home! Finally, your work here is complete! Now you both can enjoy the splendor of Heaven together! Even though I have a gladdened heart, I'm flesh and miss you both. Forever in my heart ❤
