Daddy,
I can't not write this without tears in my eyes. I miss you so much already. It seems like just yesterday you were here with us and its already weeks. I know you know how much I loved you but you can never imagine how much I miss you. You were the greatest Daddy in the world. You made sure we had everything we needed and almost everything we wanted. My babies loved you so much. You were the perfect Paw-paw. I know the tears I am crying are all for me. I know that you are in God's hands now and you are well and happy. I promise to do everything I can here on earth to make sure I get to Heaven to see you again one day. I love you and miss you. Amy
I Got The BIG One!

Butler family-
I was saddened to learn of the loss of your precious Ronnie. When someone we love dies, it leaves and empty spot in our hearts which can never be filled by any other person. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will all be things of the past. Until then, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
A friend.

They watched him leave this place, no more pain etched in his face; and although it broke their hearts to say goodbye, they knew he went to a far better place. Even though he's gone from us we know, saying goodbye is only temporary; For he waits for you at heavens gate, with a smile upon his face. He knows no pain anymore, no fears and no tears, he knows he'll see you all again and he knows how much you care. He blessed us all down here on earth with his caring spirit, so rejoice knowing he's blessing them in heaven with his spirit he's sharing. I will miss your laughter, you funny jokes and your sense of humor, and even though it breaks my heart that you're gone. I know you're in heaven smiling down, full of love for all your family. Uncle Ronnie, you are a wonderful man, who was loved by so many. I will miss you, and all the things you taught me, and all the memories I have with our family growing up. But I know one day we'll meet again, so this is not goodbye...It's just a temporary see you later..Love you Uncle Ronnie, Kristin and Family
