Dear Val and Family, We were so sorry to hear of Jimmys passing. I still remember playing football with him in the front yard... along time ago. Our families were much closer then. Time and miles do take their toll. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Butler family during this difficult time.

Dear Val and family, I was very sorry to hear of the Loss of your brother, especially only a couple yrs after losing Mary Kay and Blainey. It is very hard to lose 3 family members in such a short time. I think of Mary Kay often and miss her very much. Her friend Bo which I am sure you remember passed away in February. Again, very sorry and you are all in my prayers
Sincerely
