My love and prayers go out to the family. May GOD comfort you as only HE can.

I was moved by the love and support your family shares. Butchie was an amazing person whom created and raised an awesome family. My thoughts are with you all.

Remembering with you, the life of someone so dear. I send my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Our thoughts & prayers are with your family

One of the most amazing women I have ever known; the epitome of the Southern belle, coupled with a great dose of Carol Channing! Under the definition of "gracious" is her name because she never failed to make everyone feel important, loved, and welcomed! Smart, clever, loving, giving, a smile that always brightened the room, including an infectious giggle; Butchie was passionate about her Big Daddy George, her children, grands and great grands. She and Big Daddy always opened their home warmly to family, friends, and countless men of God. For a Baptist girl, it was such a gift to meet priest from around the world who had been invited for rest and revitalization at the Dumont home. Until the day she went to heaven, she always gave a precious piece of her heart to everyone that she greeted, never complaining of illness nor pain, just focusing on you! I'll love you forever Butchie and am so thankful for what you've given and taught so many of us, your children's friends!!! May God continue to love and bless the precious Dumont family!!!

We extend our sympathy to Butchie's family. You didn't have to be around her long to realize she was a welcoming, loving lady. She was a friend to our mother, Ida, who always enjoyed visiting with her when in FL. God Bless you all as you hold on to her memories and celebrate her life.

Dear Dumont Family,
Your mom always celebrated life. I know you will miss her greatly but she will live on in each and everyone. You are in my thoughts and prayers! Barb Martz

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
