PASSAGES
In Memory of Jonathan Butler
Remembering the day / found out
/ was carrying triplets.
Remembering the day we found out
it was two boys and a girl.
Remembering the day you were born.
Remembering the day after six weeks
of waiting to bring you home.
Remembering the milestones
we conquered to have three
healthy babies.
Remembering all the first of you,
David, and Ralene.
Remembering that twinkle in your
eyes, that calmness that you had, and
your spirit that carries on through
your brother, David.
I ’ll always remember you, sonny.
Love, Mama
I would like to wish a belated happy
anniversary to my Mom and Dad (Sharon
and Doc) on March 17. I can’t believe
it has been 13 years. I love you both
very much and hope that you have many
more happy, wonderful years together.
Love always, the greatest daughter
that you both could ever have!
Hehehe! Felicia Ann

The family of Jonathan Butler

who helped our family in our time of
sorrow. All the prayers have and still
are helping us get through our loss.
To all the people who called, made
meals, brought drinks, paper goods,
flowers, and cards - we thank you.
Words alone cannot express how
grateful we feel.
For all the thoughts and prayers that
went out for our family, it is our prayer
that the Lord touches your lives and
blesses you and your family.
We would like to say a big thank
you to Sonya Moody-Jurado and Saul

and school to be with our family. It
means so much to have family and
friends who surrounded us with love.
To Judy Imbler, for taking time out
of your busy schedule to cook for us
and make sure the kids had snacks. To
Marci Garrett, fordoing some shopping
for the family and the birthday gift. Liz

None of us knows when or if we will ever see another again. Thus, I wish to
share this poem, these thoughts with all of you. I wrote it while saying goodbye
to a friend of mine from England. I hope you enjoy it.

Goodbye My Friend
If 1 never see you again
I will see you always
in the fresh blossoms of the spring
If I never catch your scent again
I will catch your scent always
In the clean crisp air that I breathe
If I never hear you again
1 will hear you always
In the gentle soft songs to my soul
that you sing
And if J never touch you again
I will feel you always
With every fiber of my being
Love when you can ... while you can
