Hey Mama, Red is sitting right next to me on the "den table". He and Stevie Nicks said they love you and will see you in Heaven in due time! I will too but in the meantime, I will celebrate my life with you here on Earth. I can never thank you enough for all you have done with and for me. I miss you and love you dearly. See you in Heaven soon when the good Lord decides. Your loving youngest daughter, Judith Morton Butler.

Dear Deb, Richard, Judith, Courtney,
Aunt Mort was always so special to me, from earliest childhood. She was like a second mother and I will miss her. She brought joy to everyone she knew. She truly lived her faith. She will remain a special place in my heart always.

To the entire Butler family, I want to thank God for the opportunity to meet such a wonderful family. I love Mrs. Butler so much and I know she is another angel that will always watch over us. She lived a long life and I am so glad that she is no longer suffering although her presence will truely be missed. She was a prayer warrior and she has covered your family with the blood of Jesus for many generations. I love you all and I will continue to pray for you. If you need anything please let me know what I can do. Amber Tynes from Home Helpers

We have some beautiful memories of Mary. Her cheerful, loving and endearing personality was always a bright spot in our lives. We well remember her visits to NC. One very special memory is when she accompanied us on a trip from Virginia. We were living in Virginia (Fairfax)and she rode home (to Autryville) with us. Absolutely precious.
