To Deniette, Denise, Dena and the entire Butterfield Family. I was saddened in hearing of the passing of your Mom. Mrs. Butterfield was a kind and beautiful person inside as well as outside. She always had such a beautiful smile. Daughters continue to keep your Mom's Legacy alive. Let us remember that To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
God has placed another beautiful Rose in His garden
Tears will come, but let them flow yes u will miss her but hold those memories close to your heart. Weeping may endure but for a night, but Joy will come in the morning.
Mrs Butterfield, you fought a good fight, now take your rest. Blessings once again to the family.

GM. When I received the call at 6.30am Sunday morning, I felt it couldn't be good and was instantly saddened when informed it was about my dear sweet Aunt Orie's transition to glory. So many visits and time spent with her and the late Uncle Den over the years on Butterfield Lane that I will always cherish. Huge condolences to cousins Deniette, Denise and Dena. Sorry for your loss, you're angel has gone to be with her Dennis. God's blessings as you all continue to heal. With much love
