To The Butler Family:
There are no words that can be said that will take the pain away from the loss of your loved one. We can however take comfort in knowing that God knows just how you feel. Remember he lost a loved one too, (JESUS). And its through him that we will find strength, Love and courage to go on. To Vanessa Chads kids, brothers and sisters, AuntBayne, Uncle Louis remember to take one day at a time. And know that its okay to grieve. Aunt Bayne you where there with me and my mother, when no-one else could make it. I could not have made it through without you and your prayers. I love you, and I will always remember you and your family in mines. Therefore I say to The Butler Famliy move forward in The loving Grace of God. Love you all Diane, Reynold and children

Kisha Howard

July 7, 2010

To the Butler and Warren Family. Chad will surely be missed, but never forgotten, he will always remain in our hearts and spirits. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why he left this earth so soon, or why he left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. And that his life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

With Love Kisha Howard and Derrick Hicks
