To Our Family

Words cannot express, the sadness we are feeling at this time. we were so sorry, to hear of the passing of Butch.

We have such fond memories of him, especially when we were at Shun's Wedding. He really was there for us and stayed with us until we left the Ceremony. He was such a gentleman.

We will always remember him. Butch, was always so happy and pleasant every time we would see him he had the biggest smile.

Family, always remember the good times that you all shared and know that you have another Angel watching over all of you.

We will continue to keep all of you in our prayers. We love you all.

With Loving Sympathy
Mrs. Johnie L. Dukes & Family
