I was saddened to learn of Buddy's earthly death. I know it means he's in his heavenly home now, but he will be missed.
My girls and I talk about the Hovda's and how they accepted us 'northerners' into their home. We have many wonderful memories of Sundays and holidays spent at the Hovda home. I often wondered how Buddy maintained when there was a house full of giggling girls and cool teenagers:)
But, I think the most important characteristic about Buddy was the shining example of what a husband, father, and friend should be. He lived his life as a christian and set a wonderful example for us to follow.
My sincerest sympathy to Gretchen and their family, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love & Prayers,
