Andy,Randy & Susie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that all of you will miss Poppa David so very much. I know there must have been a great celebration awaiting Poppa David when he arrived in heaven with MawMaw Betty and David Lee at the front of the line to greet him with open arms. Both of your parents were so always there for me, Nicole & Josh and I will always love them, some of my greatest memories are when we were together, most especially those summer days cutting the corn off the cob in the back yard when we all had as much corn on us as we had in the bowl. If there is anything I can do to help you thru this most difficult time please let me know. Love, Cheryl Barnett Butterworth
