You were lucky to have 2 older sisters that treated you like their baby, You were loved so very much as you grew older you had away to make everyone laugh, Onetime you and Bendy decided you were going to smoke some pot ,Bendy had heard you roll grass in a reed so you two did but what you didn,t know was real grass dose not work, just one of our days we had when the story was told .. We will all miss your laughter and we all love you so very much.. Christmas will not be Christmas without you .. I Love you so very much and it,s like a hole in my heart.. Berta you will be so missed more than you will ever know you were loved by so many you were Donnie’s big sister and he always loved you he went on dates with you and you spent so much time with you . he was with Eric and Debra Lynn that they were more like his brother and sister..

Mommy their are no words to describe the pain I’m in without you here with me anymore. My heart hurts so bad! It feels impossible to live without you but I know that I have to. Tomorrow is your memorial and I’m just not ready to say goodbye. I was so blessed to have you as my mother and my best friend. I miss coming home to you daily and miss your hugs and kisses so badly. I hope you Rest In Peace until we can meet again.

Jamie Butterworth says
Mama it has been almost two years since you got your wings and flew away and i can honestly say that with each passing it does not get easier to be without you. I miss everything about you. Since you left my life has not been the same, I have not been the same. I find myself secluding from everyone because for me it makes it easier to hide the pain that i feel since we lost you. You were everything to everyone. It kills me to live life with out you and its even harder for me to know that my baby boy will never know how much you loved him and how great you were. I love and miss you so much.

Collin Burkshire says
I miss you a lot, i never take off your ashes off from my neck they will stay there till the day I die. I never take the bracelet off that you gave me. I still haven’t dealt with the loss of you properly, life has moved so fast since then. The smallest things can set me off when i think about you, legit when I was working in the Gatorade department i teared up because i just thought about all out late night trips to 7 11. I just really miss you a lot, I’ve lost my second mother and i just now know the things i wanted you to be around for are never going to happen. You won’t see me graduate if i even do that with how much i play hooky and don’t do work, you wont ever see me married, if that somehow happens, if I have kids you won’t be there to hold them. I wanted you there for that so damn bad, you also missed the last season of game of thrones but i will say. Kinda glad you didn’t see it because it was baaaaaaad. I just wish i wouldn’t of had been so angry with you to not come visit the hospital I’m so sorry I didn’t see you. i miss you so much. I’ve always thought if i was quicker to call mom out that night if you could’ve been saved and i know mom says the docs said you were to far gone. But I still feel if i would of said something the first night you would’ve pulled through and then I could see you again. I love you grandma
