Hey Folks - As you know, our dear friend and one of our first members Michael Butler has suffered a terrible tragedy in the loss of his son. In addition - his wife and daughter are in critical condition in the hospital. I got this note today on facebook from Michael.

Hello all of my FB friends and family. During these past few days I learned that I did not have a life insurance policy for my son Tyre which makes this ordeal that much more unbearable. Many of you have asked if there is anything that can be done or that my family needs. We've set up a paypal account for donations to help me take care of my son's final arrangements. If you are able and would like to help my family, we'd be forever indebted to your kindness. Go to www.paypal.com then use email address [address removed] to make donations.

I feel at times like this we must all pull together and help our friends in need. To this end I have donated 71.00 of the[masked] we have in the PIFMG account. If you are able to send a donation as well I'm sure Mike will appreciate it. I can't imagine the pain he must be going through. If you know Mike - you know he's not one to ask for help as a rule and if he is, then he must be feeling pretty desperate at this point. Please send him love, prayers and if you are able to help financially, please do so.

Michael - the whole PIFMG family is with you and praying for you now in this time of great sadness. I only met Tyre a couple of times but it was clear that he was a very special and beautiful boy. My heart breaks for you my friend.

All my love to all of my PIFMG family. Tammy
