Butch and Family,



I am so sorry to hear about Kay passing. I remember times when she would come over to my dad (Robbie) and Kathys house. She was always such a happy person to be around. Our family understands what you are going through at this time. I remember too well the feelings we felt with dad passing. You and your family are in our prayers.
