Mr. Eckenroth, Donna, Chrissie and extended family,
I’m sending my condolences of the recent passing of Mrs. Eckenroth. Lisa Garrett e-mailed me the obituary. I am very sorry to hear that Mrs. E passed away. When I lived in Lancaster, I enjoyed spending time with her and Donna making cookies and making sure I didn’t butter my cracker on the wrong side. She was a wonderful woman and I was very lucky to have met her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. If you would like to talk, you can reach me at (910) 364-8438 or at bugzy88@nc.rr.com.
Sincerely,
Michelle Butzgy
It was with sadness that I read of Janets passing, we had not seen each other in years, but when we were growing up we were friends. I will always have fond memories of Janet and her Mom and Dad. My most heart felt condolences to James and his family, God bless you all.

It was with sadness that I read of Janet’s passing today in the Greensburg Tribune Review. It brought back fond memories of our growing up, and going to school together; and then later, introducing our husbands to each other. After her move to the Lancaster Area, we lost touch, except when she and Jim would come back here to visit with her parents, which saddens me. Hopefully, she was at peace. I will always remember her. My smpathies and prayers to all of you.

Time has a way of soothing us and lightening our sorrows, Time has a way of helping us and brightening our tomorrows, And those who are concerned for you, and how you must be feeling, Are hoping you’ll remember that time has a way of healing.
A warm note of comfort, care, and concern And a wish, with deepest sympathy, that time will bring you peace.
With love and sympathy across the miles, Patti Eckenroth (Jim’s Cousin)
We’re sharing in your sadness.
Sending our sympathy & love …
and remembering many wonderful times together.
