I never met Nancy but felt like knowing her from the letters she wrote. And now reading the obituary I found out what a remarkable woman she was. Please, Budd, accept my deepest sympathy! I really don't have any comforting words; just that I am so very sorry for your loss.

Budd,
I am so very sorry to read this sad news. We both go back a long way, not least in our respect and affection for Robert Reeser.
Please know that I am thinking of you at this very sad time.

Thank you Nancy for fighting for the people and being a voice for Vets. We did not know each other but I knew of you and often see Bud at the old Bomart now the new Harps. I live down the road in Crosses. I am grateful for all the good work you have done. You have been a warrior and you deserve a warrior's rest.
Thank you
Mike Oglesby
Budd and family. Our prayers are with you all. Jo and Merle Williams
Bud, this is a voice from the past--long past, Phyllis Johnson, Jim's wife. I am so sorry to hear about your loss--I knew you had met someone very special several years ago and Nancy was as special an individual as you are. I remember reading the obituary about her dad not too many years ago and knew she came from "good stock." Please do ring me up some time 479-244-5913--and we can sit around doing a good bit of remembering. I feel certain that you know that Kathy died about 4 years ago--I still keep in touch with Linda Wheeler who has moved further south in Joplin about two years ago. She is doing quite well. Her family home (on 32nd and Moffet) survived Joplin's horrific tornado, but she decided to move to a newer place. It's just a block from 32nd and Shiffirendecker.
My youngest son, Wil, lives with me in Springdale. He started a new job this past August--teaching at Haas Hall in Bentonville, It has almost killed him (and me, too), but things are getting better. Teaching is a very demanding job most especially the first year.
I am so sorry to have to miss the service, but I have a previous engagement that day. Please do feel free to call anytime. I really would love to visit about old times.
Sincerely and much love, Phyllis Johnson
