MaryAlice and Family,
We received your Facebook note about "Butch" and were heartbroken for you all. So many years have passed since we sat around the campfire in Slippery Rock. We were a young couple, with two babies and you both loved us and influenced us in ways we still talk about today.
Butch's diligence and integrity will always speak to our hearts as we go about our business each day.
We pray that God will give you all "a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair." Isaiah 61:3
