Sissie was my second mother. My mother, Opal Rodgers, was the disciplinarian while Sissie spoiled me. She was and is a large part of my life. I can't imagine life without her.

Sister Butcher made an impact on my life in 1966 and I will always be grateful for that. Then, many years later, I was privileged and honored to go to their home and give her piano lessons. We shared some precious heart moments together. Enjoy your new Home, Little Lady!

I am so fortunate that I was able to sit under these wonderful people and was considered one of the boys. They lived to Love people and I will truly miss Sister Butcher every bit as much as much as I do Bro. Butcher. They were a pair. Where one was the other was, if one was praying for someone at the altar the other was right there. They were and still are the standard for me of what it means to be Christ like in this world. I cant wait to see them again. I love you both with all my heart-
