    To my good friend Jane, I know that the pain of Butch passing must be so hard for you. He was one of the cool guys. I loved talking with him in person and our discussions regarding cars and trucks on Facebook. Butch has gone before you to prepare your home together in Paradise where you will share an Eternity of holding hands and laughing and loving every new day. In our prayers.
