Dear Butch, It's been 14 years since you left us. You were one of my few very best friends for many years. I still miss you so & always will. I'll always be grateful for your special friendship. I pray you're having the time of your life in Heaven for eternity & I pray I'll see you again in God's time. I love you, friend.

Shirley, Jimmy and Kristy - I am so sorry for your loss. I won't be able to be there in person but my thoughts and prayers will be with you all during this time. I knew Eddie many years ago. It is very hard to lose a parent and I know you are hurting. Just look to God - He is the almighty comforter. If there is anything I can do please let me know. I love you all very much.
