Gladys, Randy, & Linda,
I don't know if you will see this entry, but I am sending you a card also. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of loss. Mr. Buttler was a quiet man and we missed having him at church in the years he was unable to come. We love you all. I know you will have the comfort of our Saviour as you go through these difficult days and weeks ahead.
With Prayers, Rachel Morgan
