Holly Family,
I was very sorry to hear of Denver's passing. I haven't seen him for many years, but I have many fond memories of him during my younger years. I know that Josh always held a special place in his heart for him and anyone that knew Denver could easily understand why. I apologize that we will not be able to come in from Lexington for the celebration of his life, but please know that our hearts and prayers are with all of you in this time.

Nancy, Beverly and Tammy;
Was so sorry to hear of the passing of Butterball. He was a dear friend to us and was always so much fun to be around with his laughter and jokes. He truly lived life to the fullest with his music. He will be sadly missed. We have tons of great memories of him playing music and the friendship he shared with everyone. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
