Izetta and I were both saddened when we heard the news about Butch. There are so many people that are going to miss him, but none more than you. Knowing how close the Weber family is, I’m sure that they will all certainly rally around you for the support you will need. And I am certain that you will find that there are many many more of us that are sending their wishes for support. Greenville has just lost a very special member of a very special family.
