I have so many memories of Butch. Me and Cindy were best friends in high school. I'm sure Cindy and I left her with more than memories. (Alot of headaches) But sitting at the table drinking coffee and listing to the scanner will always be the one I remember always. I know the people that live in the Hickman house now, and every time I walk in there I always think about her and Cindy. I'm glad I knew her (in my heart). She was a wonderful person.

My condolences to the family for their loss. Mrs. Stewart was always very loving and thoughful to me growing up in Hickman. My favorite memory of Mrs. Stewart was listening to the CB radio police scanner and her home made coleslaw, her's was the best hands down. God Bless her family and friends, RandyAnn
