Dear Carol and Will,



Uncle Lacey called today to inform Mother and me that Butch had passed, and we have been deeply grieved by the news.



They informed us he had gone into the hospital early during his hospitalization, I think it was the first week of June that we heard from them originally. Then today, we were shocked to hear we had lost him so quickly.



Uncle Lacey talked about the long, daily stays you all were with him. I can't imagine the pain all of you are suffering, but we pray God will help you through it.



Butch was a dedicated husband, father, son and airman. We loved him too.



With deepest sympathy and love,

Jean and Barbara Word

Hi Carol and Will,



Judy and I have been thinking of you and wondering if Roger or you, or both had retired. I have been gathering a few chickens and thoughts "of old" times have been appearing and when we read the paper today and saw Roger's name it was quite a shock. We are thinking of you both, May God's tender mercies comfort and heal your broken heart. This is our prayer for you and your family. Love to each of you, Dan and Judy
