Dear Bryson Family,
It was a pleasure to know Brother Bud Bryson and wife Kate while serving as their pastor at Westwood Baptist Church. I particularly enjoyed playing golf with Bud from time to time while in Asheville. May the Lord bless you in this time as we look forward to seeing Bud and Kate again.
