Aunt Alice and Family,



With much sadness, I write this note. Uncle Butch was such a happy man and I will always remember him with the smile on his face.



You are in our prayers.



May God bring healing into your hearts, quietly like the dawn.

To Aunt Alice and family,

Words cannot express the grief I feel today...and the loving and caring thoughts I have toward all of you. After searching high and low for airfares, I am so torn apart that I cannot be there...I really feel the need to be more than you will ever know...just can't stop crying.



I want to express my deepest sympathy, love and support to each of you as you suffer the loss of such a caring, loving and mild-mannered gentleman that was my Uncle "Butch". I shall cherish his memory always...and am so blessed to learn that it was my mother possibly holding his hand as he went Home to Jesus and Our God the Father. May God Bless You all...
