With heartfelt sympathy
To the Myers family...although I did not know "Butch", I am a former classmate of Lisa's and know she spoke highly of him when we met recently over lunch. My sympathies go out to your family as well, as mine is also coping with the loss of our mother and wife of 59 years. With sympathy, Donna.
To the Myers Family
We wish to extend our sincere condolences for your loss. Butch was my sponsor in the Ironworkers Local 401 and I will always be grateful to him for his confidence in my abilities. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
(Aunt) Kay, Butchie and Family
Dear Aunt Kay, I am so sorry to hear about Butch.
I cannot imagine the pain with all the tragedy that has happened within the past few years and the words "I am sorry" cannot ease that pain. The love that you had for each other will hold memories for the years to come and I hope that sorrow will be replaced with the joy that you also shared.
I wish that I could be there for you, but since 800 miles are far away and quite impossible, please know that you ALL are in my heart and always have been since we met 28 years ago and you will always be in my prayers.
I pray that you find comfort in remembering the love of those you have lost and that you find strength to contiue on.
I love you Aunt Kay and you and your family are in our prayers.
Myers Family
Dear Kay & Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.We are sorry for your loss. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
