Thomas Zane Winkler

Zane was my mother's cousin. I was fortunate to meet him once when he joined the Butler Family Thanksgiving at My Uncle Robert Butler's ranch in Lometa Texas. Zane and Robert were running buddies in Graham when they were kids.

Dear Zane, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You were such a huge inspiration to our whole family. Thank you for your unconditional love.

Zane, may you find peace and tranquility up there among the clouds and stars!!! You came from an amazing generation. There will be no other more compassionate and braver! Say hello to my Dad, he flew with you in the war! Love Celeste

Zane was a special part of our lives and our "church family." We looked forward to seeing his smiling face every Sunday. He will be greatly missed, but we rejoice that he is now face to face with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Grandpa,
You are an amazing person and we will all miss you terribly. You touched the lives of just about everyone you came in contact with and it is such an amazing gift to be able to hear all of those stories now when we all miss you the most. I love you so much and can't wait to see you again so I can give you a big hug.

Dad I love you and miss you. God Keep him safe. I can't hardly wait to see you again :-D your Daughter Paula. I also believe the rest of your son's and daughter's love and miss you Jimmy, Diana Bliss, Robert and Kathy bays.

I'm smoking a little cigar with my coffee, just like we used to on the porch. Ill miss you very much.

Mr. Zane...you will be very missed! You were a special part of our church family! Lots of love...
