Butch,

Merry 1st Christmas & Happy New Year

with the Angels. Not a day goes by that I don't cry, I miss you so much and my heart is so broken. Everyday is still so sad and these Holidays were just terrible without you. Last Christmas was so sad because you were so sick and in so much pain, but this year was unbearable because you weren't with us. I still can't believe it and that it's almost 10 months already. You're on my mind and in my heart every minute of everyday.

I Miss you & Love You more today than yesterday

but less than tomorrow-

Love You-

Too Much,

XOXO Estelle XOXO

Butch,

Happy 1st Father's Day with the angels. What else can say, I just can't believe you're not here with me and that I miss you so terribly. Everyday just gets harder and harder. You were without a doubt the best father to our "kids" that anyone could ask for. We all have each other but we're still so alone without you.

MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU - TOO MUCH!

Dad,

HAPPY 1ST FATHER'S DAY IN HEAVEN. I wish so badly that you were here with us today. It was so hard without you today, just as it is everyday. I cut your back lawn today and thought about you the whole time, you loved your grass so much. Time doesn't ease the pain, it just makes it worse. It just means more and more days have passed without you and more days of our hearts hurting. Dad please just show me a sign that you're there, please. MISSING YOU EVERY MINUTE. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD.

I am truly sorry to hear the sad news of Butch passing. I have known him from the time my Dad (Claude) took me with him for car parts. He was always the first person I would contact and he would almost always have the part for my cars and if he didn't he would have great technical advice and a joke to share. The visit was always good. I made a trip there last spring just to say goodbye before we moved. I send my sympathy to the entire family. Butch was a great guy and he will truly be missed.

To the Rigney Family, I remember the day I met Butch, I was waist high tagging along with Dad at the C.I. yard. Butch was always there for me throughout the years if I needed something for my car, or if I had a problem I couldn't figure out. I will always remember Butch for his kind heart, and sense of humor. He was my Dads best friend and we are all deeply saddened at his passing, Sincerely, Herb Jr.
