I'm so sorry for your loss. Butch was my daughter Heidi's Godfather and even though we hadn't seen him for many years looking at the smiling face on the photo posted here makes me smile as I remember him fondly. He stopped over to drop off a doll for Heidi the last time I saw him before he moved away to MN when Heidi was 3-years old. It was truly a sweet thing to do to make a little girl smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Those memories will help you all make through each moment of the day. The Nelson family was my second family for so many years and my heart is breaking that another young one has gone ahead of us.
