Roger, Mike, Kim & Kina,
No words can express the sympathy I have for you. Aunt Butch was a caring and loving wife and mother to you all. She lived for her family, her grandchildren as well as all of you. I have such fond memories of her from years ago. She was there to help Sherri and me with mom when she was sick. She loved her sister and was always glad to lend a helping hand. There are no words I know that will help you during this time. Only God can comfort you and I am praying He will. I love all of you and will cherish the memories of Butch.
Roger Kim Kina and Mike,
I will cherish the memories that I have of my aunt baby Barbara. She was always like a sister to me. Barbara, was such a loving, caring person. Her family was the most important part of her life. She adored her children and grandchildren. Her wishes for all of us now would be to love each other and be happy, and look up to the Lord so one day we will all be together again. May God Bless all of you.
My deepest sympathy to all of the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers
Aunt Butch brought so many happy moments in to our lives and left us with a treasure trove of memories. I will never forget the Summer I spent with Aunt Butch and Uncle Roger, they took Heather and I to the lake to see the fireworks for the 4th of July. Heather and I had got sunburned bad, Aunt Butch would laugh at us trying to walk but then help us rub aloe all over us. It is with the memories of Aunt Butch that will help us push away the tears and bring back the smiles. Sorry I am unable to make it for the service, but my thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Barbara was a very special person to us and we will miss her so much.
Roger our prayers are with you and the family. Heaven has gained and angel.
