My heart goes out to the Butcher families. He was a good friend in school and a good friend outside of school. Every times we saw each other, we slapped hand like true gentlemen. We just had so much in common. One of our parents worked at the jail. Our families are alike. Our siblings went to school together. As a matter of fact, our youngest sisters were best friends. Both of us kept the things that were important in focus. For these reasons, I am saying 'Thank-you' to God for bringing Ronald into my life and being the person he was and the one I will always cherish.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Ronald but know that earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. Ronald was always a funny person to be around in school and smiling. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. May God continue to strengthen each of you and keep all of you in his loving arms.

Love and Lots of Hugs,
