Wishing you blessings today on your St. Patrick's Day birthday, Dan. There are so many memories of us growing up together, playing games with the kids in the neighborhood, all the time you and Christie spent at Grandma and Grandpa Butler's house, the years I spent babysitting you, and Butler family camping. As the years went by, there were many good times visiting me in Door County, going out with my friends, thank you for being in my wedding, and memories of you calling my girls the "Twinkies"'. Wishing you peace...you are reunited with family in Heaven.
