Mr. Butler & Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Losing someone who you loved is extremely painful, I know from experience. Their absence leaves a scar on your heart and for me my soul. But, I truly believe a person is never truly gone. I am a spiritual person, I believe that our loved ones continue to be around us and if one truly stops and just looks carefully, they will prove it to you. After my loved one passed, something happened to me, to some it may seem silly or ridiculous, but, one day I was sitting at a particular red light. I was thinking about the person I had just lost, when suddenly a monarch butterfly landed on the hood of my car. I really didn't think to much about it, however, the next day at the same red light yet another single Monarch landed on my car windshield right in front of me. I began to wonder what is going on? The third day at the same red light this time another Monarch Butterfly flew directly thru the intersection, and then I knew! It was my loved one telling me, I'm still here, did you see me? Don't be sad sweetheart, you are never truly alone we who you have loved and lost are always surrounding you and we are trying to let you know, all you need to do is stop and look around you. See the beauty of all the living things that surround you, and then you will understand. I hope this (rather long I know) note brings you a little comfort, and a little peace, I know..... Love never dies.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I met Kathy through the DAR. We met while I was doing her genealogy and her paper work. She was a lovely lady and was happy to have her join us in the DAR. Corinne Scirocco

Dear Wayne and Family. I am stunned that we lost 2 beautiful soles almost a year apart-My JACKIE and NOW kathy. I owe Kathy a great deal for sheparding Jackie through her sickness with compassion and dignity.Yes all will be different, but we should thank the Lord for giving us these beautiful souls as long as the Lord did.Not only was Kathy pretty;she had an amazing sense of humor.Gratefully Kathy got to partake in many special family events and years of marriage to a fine guy
