I remember attending you and Uncle Butch's wedding. Even as young as I was I could see you too had something special. When I describe you to people, I tell them you both were soul mates. Not to many people in life meet and marry their soul mate. Uncle Butch will truly be missed, I pray that God will give you strength.

When they made Uncle Butch, they broke the mold. You were always a constant in my life since you started dating Aunt Donna. I will remember the music you played on that piano and your smile that was always there. In a lot of ways you were the glue that held our family together through difficult times. You will be missed more than words can say.
