He was oxygen dependent, pretty much house bound, and getting anywhere was a chore. I was talking with my stepmother since all the ice and power outages and we both agreed that God had his hand in the timing as taking care of my dad in those circumstances would have been an impossible situation.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137819611978764705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182684097211815472.post-46602067352635971572009-02-07T16:51:00.000-06:002009-02-07T16:51:00.000-06:00i have to admit that I was so stunned to see the w...i have to admit that I was so stunned to see the word...Mena, Arkansas that I was too shocked to read much more.<BR/><BR/>I had an aunt, maiden name Butler who lived just outside of Mena.<BR/><BR/>I spent my entire early early years in and out of Mena and Ashdown.<BR/><BR/>Oh my if you know any Butlers then we have friends or family in common.<BR/><BR/>Oh my I haven't been back in so long.
