Gregory Butler Obituary

To the Butler Family:

May God continue to comfort you in your time of sorrow. I will always remember Greg for his playful ways.

To My Family

May God keep us all as we grieve. No more suffering or pain for Greg. We must now hold onto God's unchanging hand and trust in Him and He will comfort us. I will always cherish the memories of my cousin and also big brother, who watched after me in school. He was always making you laugh.

To The Bulter Family,
It's been a long battle for Greg,but know that God is incontrol of his life. He was indeed a high spirit young man. I know he's resting with the almighty. Family, hold on to Gods unchangin hands. Greg will be miss and everyone that knew him, will always have joke to share that Greg told them. Because he was a all about having a good time. R.I.P. Greg....

Rosemary: May the love and strength that the Lord will provide for you during your time of sorrow be some comfort as the days go by. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. R.I.P Greg

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Butler Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. May the peace of God rest upon you during your time of sorrow. Greg and I became friends our senior year in high school as I would try to talk to him about staying out of trouble when I could and believe or not, he listened. I will always remember him for his good sense of humor. Cherish the fond memories that you have of him and know that he is in a better place. God bless.
