Dear Pat and family,
I was so sorry to read of Bud’s passing. He was one of the “good guys” at RCA and I enjoyed working with him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Dear Steve and Mark,
It was so nice to see you at Lancaster General and revisit old times on Union Street. Unfortunately it was not under the best of situations. But I was surprised and saddened to read today of your dad’s passing. Having been in your situation during the past year, I know how hard this is. My sincere sympathy to you and your families,
Gail Jordan Miller
