In Memory, In Memory
In Loving Memory
Derek Lance Butterfield
9/7/1985 - 8/6/2006
No farewell words were spoke,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before
we knew it
And only God knows why.
If tears could build
a stairway, and memories
a lane, I'd walk right up
to Heaven and bring you home again.
My loving son,
you are missed
more than words
can express. I love you.
There is not a day that goes by you are not here with me. May you be resting in peace.
-With all my love,
your mother,
Cindy Butterfield
brother, Lucas McMurrin
grandmother, Pat Nolan
and family and friends

Mom,
It doesn't seem possible that we've been without you for 12 long years. This past year has been the most difficult one yet. Please give Dad a hug for us.
- Loving and missing you,
Your Family & Friends
