I am devastated I didn’t know this until today when I was searching for Jan Judds Obituary. Betty was my first boss at MPS and a long time friend. I called her on her birthday but no answer as she was in Heaven with her Lord. God Bless the Butlers and please give me a call.
Our sincerest condolences to the Butler family for the loss of your mother Betty. My parents, Bob and Cynthia Winn were life long friends of both Ed and Betty. I just found out today from my brother Gary, that Betty had passed away. He was unaware until recently himself. I looked up Betty’s obituary and noticed that Dennis had passed away too. I didn’t know that either.
I wanted you to know how much I regarded and thought of your mother. She was always so very kind, thoughtful and good to me, and all our family. I have many fond memories of her and your entire family.
Dennis was a good friend in our younger years. We lost touch over time, but I was saddened to hear of his passing. I can only have faith that Dennis, Betty as well as Ed are reunited and at peace. Our thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Sincerely, Mike and Linda Winn
