My dear Barbara, I am very saddened to read that your Bill died on sunday. He was such a wonderful fellow with a very positive sense of humor. I wished I could be with you at this time. You are a beautiful and strong lady, yet you will need to lean on your friends. Life will never be the same without him, I know from losing Fred 7 years ago. I have since remarried to another wonderful gentleman. We travel with his large carnival. I hope to get to see you sometime. Keep in touch and give my fondest regards to your children. With love, Helena McKay-Vivona

Dear Budan Family,
I am sorry to hear of the death of Bill. As a kid I remember the countless nights at your dinner table in Harborgate and the laughter that Bill would bring to the meal, from his facial expressions to his whit. Having lost my father and step father I sympathize with what you are going through at this time. Your family was blessed to have such a loving husband and father, Also he was blessed to have such a loving wife who stood by him all these years and cared for him day to day. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rick, Jim, Miranda Sanchez
