It is wierd to know you are no longer here, it is wierd to know Juliette won't have to put away some rolls for you on Sundays. It is wierd to not hear the buzzer on the front door around 10:30pm because it was you picking up a plate. It is wierd to know around 3:45pm you won't be driving up. Even worse, it is hard to know you died without me ever expressing how I felt avout you, my UNCLE. I never thought to send you a card on your bithday, Father's Day, Xmas or any other holiday. I assumed you knew there was love for you. Never once did I say I love you, Butch. But on Friday, Dec 26, 2003 all those feelings were expressed with tears, screams, and whys. It seems after Sept 29, 1999 I would have learned to never let that happen again, but I did not. Now I can only give flowers you won't see cry tears you won't hear and wish you were here. I will never forget you and will make sure Connor knows about you. I will remenber you telling me "You don't let anyone or thing block your blessings and that is what you are doing Shanky". I love and miss you Buth and I am sorry for never addressing you as Uncle Butch. I only found out after your death you felt you should be addressed by your title. Weed, Guy, and Shana-- I love you and hang in there.

Love,

Shanky

Dearest Butch, the Lord works in mysterious ways. You will be so missed by the family. You were the glue that held them together. I am so happy that I got to spend my last day in Richmond with you. God has something else in store for you. We must all remember that He knows best. You were a beautiful role model for all who knew you. We will survive as we think of you often. Peace be with you. Your cousin Fern from California.

To my dearest friend:

Dad, I know your gone home to be with the Lord, But no one knows how much pain that I'm in right now. You would have to had experienced this before to know how much pain I really in. My Dad, My friend, and my singing partner is now gone. So, now who am I going to call. I know that I have Jesus! But I'm talking about my natural friend. I don't want to be selfish because I know that God knows what best. It's just that this is the hardest thing that I had to ever deal with so how do I get through the pain that seem so deep that you just want to die. I feel like a part of me died with my dad. Maybe I took it for granted that my dad would always be around for a long time. Please pray for my family and myself

God Bless you all and may heaven smile on you! I love you Daddy your forever in my heart.

Your Daughter

To The Family:

There is a Time For Everything,there is a time to cry and a time to laugh and a time to be sad, and a time to dance, and we must also know that there is a time to be born and a time to die but in everything I give thanks to GOD that he knows exactly how we feel. We have had some good times and some bad times, we have even had some tears to cry. Love covers all that we must go through. Love will dry every tear and soothe every pain that we have. I will miss him, he was the father that I never had, he took care of me and gave me what most men don't give their daughters, security. I love him with all my heart and every tear I cry is because of the love we have for him.

"Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow," I know that is hard to do right now, but praise your way through. I am deeply touched by your pain. I will pray that God will continue to keep His loving arms around you. It doesn't feel like it, but He has all of you in His loving care. Donyelle, I'm sorry we lost contact with each other, considering how we were always spending the night at one another's house. God Bless you all. Please hold on to God's unchanging hand. That's just not a cliche, it's true. He never changes, we do. With lots of genuine love and concern. DEBRA WINSTON

To the Morton Family,

My deepest sympathy is with you all in the lost of your loved one. Butch was a very special person. He touched the lives of many while he was here. One thing that consoles me is that I know he loved his Lord and now he is finally there singing "What a time" and smiling forever now. Continue to hold on to Jesus and he will bring you through this.

With Love,

Angel

You were such an instrumental person in our time of need. Your visits and talks helped us as we were begining our lives without our parents. And now it is time to say farewell to you. It is much more sooner than we would like but God knows best. Weed, Guy, and Shauna hold tight you all will get through this.

Love your cousins,

Tonja, Eric, Jabbar, Ahmad and Sho
