Tulsa, OK Thursday, February 6, 2014 So sorry to hear of your loss. May the Lord comfort you at this time.Am thinking that her husband was also known as "Bud", if so he was Grandpa's nephew. Harry W Christensen. Also related to Asa McDuffee and Dorothy his daughter. Have lost track of much of the family. Would go with Grandpa and spend time with the boys when a child when Grandpa went to help Bud on the farm. She was always a wonderful lady.
