To the Entire Bulter and Ferrand families


Oh my God, I really didn't know
I tried calling you two days ago to do our usual old school talks.

I found it strange we hadn't spoken latter part of 2024, but I do give thanks to our creator we talked prior.

I am so out of it Sistah, you will never be forgotten.

I will always hold your family in my prayers, thoughts and heart.

To your 3 loving sons, continue holding on to God's unchanging hands, may each of you hold your mothers beautiful smile and advice to carry on daily.


Mz. Eileen and Family

We were good neighbors, so many fun crazy memories

Respect, Love & Faith,

I have learned that dying is inevitable. No one can stop it. There´s really no words that can express the hurt the pain the sadness and loneliness I´m feeling. This has really turned my world upside down. You will be missed dearly and forever always in my heart. Love Always Your Youngest Sister Carolyn.
