Top - Celebrate the Life

Silent meditation - What our lives would have been like without Bud Rue; how he touched our lives and the difference that his presence made.

We all have a lot to be grateful for.

It's easy at a time like this to get lost in sorry and grief.

We need to remember that we had no right to Bud, that he and all the gifts of this life were unmerited gifts from God.

We did nothing to deserve them.

We need to focus on how fortunate we were to have them.

Blessings - HOW TO DREAM

Everyone has dreams, but Dad knew how to turn his dreams into concrete reality.

He dreamed of

A freeschool on the hill

Decent and affordable housing for all

A close and loving family who held each other and cared for each other in time of need

For each of these dreams - "What can we do?"

Take each dream step by step to reality.
