My thoughts and prayers are with the Gibson family during this time. To my Sister from another Mister, Kim Sharp, Butch left a legacy and lifetime of memories with you and I know that he will live on forever in your heart and mind. If there is anything I can do to help you get through this difficult time, you know that I'm a phone call, short drive or short walk down the hall. Love you girl!
