To: Arlette, Merle, William and the Reed Family.



My deepest sympathy in the lost of your beloved brother Butch. May God continue to comfort you at this time. Remember that God will be a comforter at a time when we need it most. Joy will come in the morning. Though your family circle has been broken here on earth, I know that Momma Ollie is smiling as the family circle is being reconnected in heaven. May God bless you all as the angels (your parents & brothers) in heaven continues to smile on you.

I pray that the comfort of our Lord will envelop you at this time of depletion and loss. May you experience His presence in a way that you have never known before.
