Toni Lynn Wiser (Butts) (1984)
Emerson Craig Butts married his high school sweetheart May 9, 1987. To our union we had a daughter and a son . Breanne and Emerson Jr. . As years went on we did divorce and he remarried and had a daughter in that union name Ashley. Craig and I met in IOL and it seemed we fell for each other pretty hard. Craig had joined the ARMY full time and had honorable discharge. He fell ill with Cancer and it seemed to spread fast but he was very brave for all he went thru in his lifetime. I honor Emerson Craig Butts SR. Respectively Toni Lynn Butts ( Wiser) 84 LaSalle Lion Graduate also.
