To the Butler Family:and Billy & Bobby since I know you.
Gary and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Butler Family in the loss of Larry. Your memories of Larry will be with you forever. May God bless all of you in this time of sorrow.
We saw the obit in the Hopewell News online that Larry had passed away. My mom (Arrella Cooper died 1998) always kept me informed of people she saw in Hopewell and they would tell her to say hello. I remember her telling me once she saw Larry and he would always ask about me and to say hello.
God Bless

Jennie and Family,

I am greatly sorry to hear of the death of your brother, Larry. He has been a staying force in your life, as a older brother and then as a member of your own household. I know that you will certainly miss him. Although I will not be able to attend the services for him this weekend, have no doubt that you and your family will be in my thoughts, and prayers. God Bless.
