Butch - I will always remember the trips with Mom & Dad down to Vero Beach to visit with all of you - as a little girl I remember you as a "cool" teenager with your surf boards. You had such a sweet nature and I know your Mom & Dad & Linda will miss you terribly at home as well as the rest of your family. You left us too soon. I am only sorry I did not get to spend much time with you as we got older. I will always remember you with a smile.
