Poem
We thought of you with love today
But that was nothing new
We thought of you yesterday
And the days before that, too
We thought of you with silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our hearts.

Services will be held at Butts Memorial Chapel @ 11 am Saturday, October 8, 2016
