Dear Marion and families,
I was so sorry to hear of Butch’s passing. I had seldom seen him over the years but I have many fond memories of him from long ago, when we were young teenagers. He was such a lovely kid—lively and fun, much given to teasing his elders, always affectionate and kind.
My deepest sympathy to you all. You, and Butch, are in my thoughts and prayers.
Barbara (cousin)
