Mom

Your laughter, a melody sweet

Your smile, a sunshine we can’t repeat

Though your gone, our memories remain

A guiding light through joy and pain.

We, the family of Eileen Butt, would like to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit the funeral home and attended Mom’s celebration of life at the church. 

To everyone who brought food to our home and to the funeral home, it was greatly appreciated.  Thanks to everyone who sent messages, cards, made donations, sent flowers and took the time make phone calls, your kindness will be remembered.

Very special thanks to Rev. Jocelyn Cook for your many visits with mom during her stay at long term care, but especially during her final days.  Thanks to you and Rev. Cyntia Haines Turner for your thoughtful and meaningful words at Mom’s service. 

Mom’s last 7-8 years in long term care was made easier for us and her because she was loved and cared for by such wonderful staff. Thanks so much.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Fillatre’s Funeral Home, especially Florence Kelly and Baden Cunning, you made a very difficult time much easier for our family.
