Butch was my best friend during our senior year at Van Horn. We lost touch over the years as I moved from place to place but I will always remember him as a true friend. I mourn the loss but I know, as you know, that the loss is only temporary. He’s in heaven waiting for the glorious reunion that is coming one day soon.
Condolences to the Shaw family. May Jehovah the “God of Comfort” bring you comfort and peace at this difficult time (2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4). Your family are in our prayers.
