Not sure what to say?

My aunt was a great inspiration to me. She will deeply be missed.

To the Butler family. May your fond memories help you to endure. May the words at John 6:40 comfort you now and in the days to come.

My condolences to the family at this time of loss. Allow your memories to keep her with you all. May God grant you all the peace and strength.

God will take care of the family

To the Butler and Harris Family, Nini Was a beautiful person with a kind spirit. A joy to be around. She will definitely be missed.

Ms Phini led the troops back home to revitalize the backside of the lower 9th ward, against huge opposition, she was a great leader!

The great Josephine Butler was a brilliant, strong and courageous community leader as well as kind, fun and dear friend. She reminds us that we have a path, that we can make it down that road and do so with grace, humor, love and great spirit. Mrs. Phini is a hero and will be with those who continue to fight for the lower 9th ward, for freedom, justice and the rights of all. Long may she live! xx

Praying to the "Hearer or Prayers" will draw the family close to God during this most difficult time......

Such a blessed Aunt she took care of my great tennis shoe wearing Uncle Cherifield, with stood Katrina & keep on with the fight. She said "it's time for me to rest". So now she rests with the master up above.
God Bless the Butler Family. She was an inspiring lady.
Love Niece Bernita Hutson Scott, Chris, and children.

Aunt Phine was such a sweet aunt. May God continue to strengthen each of you. Our prayers are with you.
