Dearest Ruby, Cheryl, Darla, and family:
Some of my fondest memories in my childhood at Beulah were created by Odell and your family. I remember Odell for his fun-loving, giving (not just candy) spirit; always teasing and singing.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and I love you all.

Mr. Butler was always a kind, friendly and most importantly a Christian gentleman each and every time I had the pleasure of working with him on a sign project. Words cannot express my feelings of sorrow for you and your family. I was blessed to have had Mr. Butler in my life.
