Condolences for Harold “Bud” J. Ferguson
Dear Linda,
I was leaving a message for the Hesse family when I learned about Bud. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and we pray God gives you an extra portion of His peace which passes all understanding. We miss our backyard “chats” with you both.
With much sympathy,
Pastor and Janet Parker
