SCOTT -- CHARLES "BUD" December 24, 1926 - November 28, 2007 The love of my life is gone. I think you're just away and going to return any day. I don't think of you as gone because I feel you next to me, I hear your laughter and see your smile in my dreams. I wake up and tell myself, "silly Bud, please let me sleep." Your children think of you every day. Missing your voice, needing your advice and wondering what you would think of the current events. We are filled with sadness because God has taken you away, but rejoicing at the fact that you are in a better place without any pain. We feel you watching over us and protecting us. In our hearts, we know we will be together someday. We Love You Forever, Esther, all your children and grandchildren
