To Rita and all her children.
My heart goes out to you all. It has been many years since I saw all of you. Butch was a very dear person and that smile was there at all times. You and Butch gave me my first job ever-babysitting most of your children. I will always remember the times you helped me with my sewing projects, too! I will always remember those days so many years ago. It was wonderful to have you and Butch as our next door neighbors. Take care and God Bless you all.
Love, Ruthie Parker Williams
