GRANDPA'S GIRL, By Candace Marovich my dreams fell from the sky when i realized what i had lost in the blink of an eye a few days have passed and it hurts more than ever the days go by so slow and the weight just gets heavier i cry myself to sleep, but it's nothing new the tears haven't stopped falling from these eyes as I wipe away a few never thinking in a million years that my grandfather would die but, you did, and left me here without even saying good-bye I would do anything for a last hug or kiss on the cheek but, I know that it will never happen, so I dream of you when I finally fall asleep grandpa, you left your granddaughter down here with so much painwhen you flew up to heaven and were there to stay I'm only 16, I can't be without a granddad it's too late now, I've lost all I had I miss you every moment I can breathe but I know you're always with me when I dream I have to accept the fact that my grandpa's an angel and sleeps on a cloud, and just because I cry every night, I couldn't be more proud. even though you're gone and my life is not complete the words "Grandpa's Girl" never sounded so sweet

I Miss You by Candace Marovich I miss you, PawPaw, very much, You gave my life a special touch; You did get angry and you did get mad, But when you were gone I was nothing but sad; Now that you've left I feel there's nothing more, A piece of my heart, I felt was torn; I went to see you I really did try, But I knew it would be our last good-bye; I saw your Angel she opened my eyes, Even since then, I'm not afraid to cry; I carry your Angel here by my side, It is in her, that I can confide; I know one day we'll be together, I will long for that day forever and ever

Greatly Missed By Candace Marovich A grandfathers touch, A grand-daddy's kiss, A grieving grand-daughter, You're greatly missed. An empty house, An empty chair, A grandfathers love, No longer there. A broken heart, Tear filled eye, Another soul to fill the sky. Many memories in my mind, Some I laugh, Some I cry. The times we shared, The laughs we had, Things I miss when I think of you grandpa. Realizing that's all I have to hold on too, Only memories, Of what once was you. Missing your laugh, I will never again hear. That is the reality that fills me with so much fear. No more smile on your face, No more warmth of your embrace. The last hug, The last kiss, The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish... To have you grandpa, here today, Never to leave your grand-daughter this way. A grandfather's touch, A grand-daddy's kiss, A grieving grand-daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!

Butch was a good man. He was always friendly and welcomed everyone with a smile. I am sorry for your loss. Steve Reaves

The one thing I will remember the most about Butch is..he loved to laugh.

I was so sorry to see in the paper where your dad had passed away. I did not know him, but I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be to lose a parent. Please know that I am very sorry for your loss and I'm thinking about you guys...take care. Love, Laura

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON, A SEASON OR A LIFETIME. WHEN YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR THAT PERSON. WHEN SOMEONE IS IN YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON, IT IS USUALLY TO MEET A NEED YOU HAVE EXPRESSED. THEY HAVE COME TO ASSIST YOU THROUGH A DIFFICULTY, TO PROVIDE YOU WITH GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT, TO AID YOU PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY OR SPIRITUALLY. THEY MAY SEEM LIKE A GODSEND AND THEY ARE. THEY ARE THERE FOR THE REASON YOU NEED THEM TO BE. THEN, WITHOUT ANY WRONGDOING ON YOUR PART OR AT AN INCONVENIENT TIME, THIS PERSON WILL SAY OR DO SOMETHING TO BRING THE RELATIONSHIP TO AN END. SOMETIMES THEY DIE. SOMETIMES THEY WALK AWAY. SOMETIMES THEY ACT OUT AND FORCE YOU TO TAKE A STAND. WHAT WE MUST REALIZE IS THAT OUR NEED HAS BEEN MET, OUR DESIRE FULFILLED THEIR WORK IS DONE. THE PRAYER YOU SEND UP HAS BEEN ANSWERED AND NOW IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON. SOME PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A SEASON, BECAUSE YOUR TURN HAS COME TO SHARE, GROW OR LEARN. THEY BRING YOU AN EXPERIENCE OF PEACE OR MAKE YOU LAUGH. THEY MAY TEACH YOU SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER DONE. THEY USUALLY GIVE YOU AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF JOY. BELIEVE IT, IT IS REAL. BUT ONLY FOR A SEASON. LIFETIME RELATIONSHIPS TEACH YOU LIFETIME LESSONS, THINGS YOU MUST BUILD UPON IN ORDER TO HAVE A SOLID EMOTIONAL FOUNDATION. YOUR JOB IS TO ACCEPT THE LESSON, LOVE THE PERSON AND PUT WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED TO USE IN ALL OTHER RELATIONSHIPS AND AREAS OF YOUR LIFE. BUTCH, THANKS FOR BEING A PART OF ALL OF OUR LIVES, WHETHER YOU WERE A REASON, A SEASON OR A LIFETIME. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY. MAY GOD BLESS YOU...WE WILL MISS HIM!

My Brother,my friend,you have always been my only Special Brother,because I looked up to you, and new of your tender heart,and all the Love you had for all of us. We are blessed to have the best parents to guide us in doing the right thing, and to always give of ourselfs,I thought when daddy passed I couldnt make it, then our Sis,and we struggled thru that and having each other made it more bearable, but as the time goes on we could talk and reminise,about it all and kept them all in hearts and cherished the time we had with them, and then we all helped with momma and love every minute of it, and I still do,But Bubbie I am not over this, I took every moment of this time we had together, and of how I was privileged to care for you during the cancer journey,Kerry &I told you we were gonna go this road together, and that is what we did, your precious sons, were there for you,in the good and the bad, and you were so proud of them ,it was your life and you told me everyday Im so Proud of my Boys, and I understand that connection, as I feel the same about them. The Love we have runs in our blood,and there is nothing that could ever match that! I am honored to be your sister,you took me when you got your 1st new car and we drove up and down the streets of Prairie Grove,and I thought whow,this is the greatest, and you even took me on some of your dates, and we were just connected, as I got older I also got to go buy your Brilcream, and put stiff creases in your levis, and even got to clean your cars for you, and I am proud I did. You were my Rock to lean on,and that I miss and the mornings we had our coffee and pray this day will be better than the last, Im so thankful you are no longer in pain,I know God opened his big arms and is caring for you Bubbie,and Sis and Daddy and all our family. I think we here are the ones that struggle to loose people you Love so much, but I have comfort in Gods Love and Care we will all be together soon, Dont worry Bubbie I will always take care of momma,I miss you more than words can say and Love you each Day Forever, Bill always considerd You as his Brother, and the Girls Catrina Cami Cassy, talk about all the fun times you putting their purses in the freezer, and of how you told Trina when she found a nest of baby mice, that they were baby kangaroos, and when she found out that wasnt true, well the mice went everywhere!! The squirting us with water thru the window screen, But the Love you had for them and us is precious.To every-one that writes a tribute, you know how very special my Brother is and please Pray for all of us that needs strength.My BROTHER FOREVER,until we meet again, Slug Bug,I win ! Ill try to do what you asked me and you fought the fight of many things in your life, you should not haved to face, You took care of those that maybe if you could have put that strength into yourself things could have been easier,and different,but you did as you thought was the best.I have anger and hurt for what you had to go thru,but we stuck beside,each other and I am Proud of that,but in our hearts we are sad,and part of my life will never be the same.Thankyou for your Love your 2 Sons Kerry&Kevin that carry your Flesh&Blood, and Your Heart!!! I Know your HEART and how you thought, you made it very clear,and Bubbie I will miss you everyday,until we meet again and we will,Rest have peace in your life, you will be rocking on the front porch of heaven,Loving You Forever,Sis Cathy&Brother Bill

PaPa A grandfather is a special blessing,enriching the life of a grandchild,with unique and incomparable joys. PaPa, you are my special joy. I get a warm, safe, contented feeling when I think of you. With you, I feel no pressure to be what someone else wants me to be, you love me enough to let me be me. You're never in a hurry, you always take time to listen and to help, you are always there for me when I need you, you're never to busy for talks or walks. I can count on your wisdom, your life experience, your understanding heart to help me comprehend and get through challenges you've already faced. You are part parent, part teacher, part best friend. You're strength and your easy, calm confidence is your legacy to me and I love you dearly PaPa. I love you very much PaPa! Love Candace Nicole Marovich I wrote this poem on 10-3-08 for my grandpa a few months after he had gotten sick so he would know what I loved about him the most and that he would always have the poem to look back on and Say that his grand-daughter loves him more then anyone else would ever know. Now a big part of my life is missing without him being here for me but one thing I will always remember he has the biggest part of my heart and always will and NO one will ever be able to take or fill his place in mt heart

I have never met Butch,but I am sure that he was a loving father,caring Grandpa,a wonderful son,and a dependable Husband.The things that Lauren told me that he did made me realize this man is special to all the members of the Redfern family.I don't know if he had siblings,but if I knew he did or did not I'm sure he helped out with them and cared for them,and also I bet that if I knew he had niece or nephews he would care for them also.Kevin(Butch's son)took after his dad.He cares for his kids,his nephews,his niece, and the rest of his family.We loved you butch,we loved you.

We really miss you and I'm grateful for the things you did for you're family.

Butch,you were a wonderful man and we all loved you!
