Butterball was one of a kind. He was the same anytime and any place you seen him. The world was blessed to have him in it. It was good to see you all on Friday night, it was a shame it had to be in the circumstances. I will continue to pray for you all and for God to help you get through this sad time.

To The Thompson Family,
I can remember the first day Kelvin came to work for APCO. He didn't act like he was the new guy, but as if he had worked there for years. We became fast friends and I found Kelvin to be not only a good friend but just as good a co-worker. We had lost touch over the years but I always asked the APCO guys about him. He will be greatly missed. The Thompson family will be in my prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Tammy and the Thompson Family,
Words, however kind, cannot mend your heartache. But those who care for you, share your loss with you. May you be comforted and given peace in your hearts as you reflect on your wonderful memories--and may you find strength in the love of family and friends who care and share your grief. Sticks is never far...his memory is tucked safe in your hearts. May God's Love and Peace cover you at this time, and in every moment you need His strength...
With Deepest Sympathy,
The Family of Jeremiah (Buff) & Kala Johnson

To the Thompson Family,
I am so sorry for your loss...Kelvin was a special person to our family...He and my brother Steve were the best of friends for years...Steve passed away in 1979 and I know how that effected Kelvin, he was like a brother to Steve...At least now God has another angel to play on his softball team....along with my Dad...
Please know that all of you are in our prayers and if there is anything we can do just call.....may God bless you and keep you near...
