From Chris to the Butler Family

I have been able to keep in touch with all of you over the years through Mom and Dad. Since I don't have that option anymore I wanted to make sure everyone had access to my phone number and email address, so here they are. 479-968-9377.

Trivella and Mary Hope, when I look at you I see Mom. Through you she will always be with me. Roy and Wayne, I can't look at you and not see Grandma and Grandpa. They were good people and they raised good children. Patsy continues to touch us all through you Don. Lisa learned after the first time she met her that she was a very giving and loving aunt. I am so glad you have been part of this family. Betty, to me, you are one of Mom's sisters, your home was and will always be my second home. Janice, any woman who has raised two boys that both became ministers should write a book on motherhood. Dale, I see myself in you. As a young boy searching for his identity, I pulled some from you. Jim, it took a good man to do what you've done.
To all my cousins, we all know we are more than cousins. Very few families were as close as we were in our younger years. Mike, David, and Cary, with our ages being so close,and the fact we got to spend so much time together growing up, I feel especially close to you.
I love you all,
Chris
