Dear Judy,
I am so sorry to see that your son Butch passed away, I read it in the paper Thursday. I know how much your son meant to you because of how I heard you talk about him when you lived here at Gorman Towers.
MY thoughts and PRAYERS are with you and all the other family members and MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I can't believe you are gone forever. You were my first love and my heart has broken once again. I wish you would have never left Council Bluffs when you visited me 3 years ago. I should have stood by you and helped you through it all. I was so close to moving to Arkansas- I wish I would have. We never said good-bye back then and didn't say good-bye this time either. So, Good-bye Butch....You will forever be in my heart.
You were a wonderful man and will be missed by many.
Much sympathy to the Meister family-Judy, Bryan, all the children and grandchildren.

When the news came to me... There was only one thought.. Do not leave me alone in this world.. do not take that smile and light from me..Dear god, please do not take my brother from me. Then I thought of your children and what loss they will feel. For they will have it longer than me.. For I will see you in heaven before they will.. I said a prayer for your babies and a prayer for the loss of my brother.. then a prayer of peace and serenity for myself and the rest of our family. We've all lost the light that lifted us in our darkest hour...But I know you will always be near, for it was your way big brother... I can still feel you even today. This is not goodbye, But I'll see you soon..
I love you, My Big Hearted Brother Always and forever.
Your Little Sister,
Michelle

Although I really didn't know Butch I do know several members of his family. And that makes me care for them and want to pray for them in the loss of there loved one. It is never ever easy to loose someone so young but God has chosen to take them on to heaven. One day you his family and friend will see him again up there.
