To the Butler family, I am also sorry for your loss. As I had not the chance of meeting your daugther. Yet my daugther did briefly, and says that she was an awesome person, (and that she want to be able to run the way she did, she wants to be just like her) . I can say that being at the funeral and seeing you guys. That you know the Lord, and I really don't have to say much, because you already know. Yet that I love you guy and praise God for the impact that Charla has made in this world.Praise God for families such as yours. Stay strong, and I pray that God will let me carry some of this borden for you guys. I Love you all.......Lunda

Beautiful tribute. Beautiful athlete and young woman. Beautiful family. Unfortunate ending for Sharla and the Butlers. Nevertheless, she's found her rightful place in heaven.

May the peace of God be with this family. RIP Sharla. Sonia Butler is a really good friend of mine and I pray that God will keep her and take care of her in this very trying time much love to you Sonia.

Love Ramanda

I am so terribly sorry for your lost. Though i never met Sharla Butler i believe i ran with her last year at regionals and at the Texas Relays. She was an amazing runner and outstanding athlete. What touched me the most is how dedicated she was to the 400m. I too run the 400m it is a very hard race to run and you have to have a whole lot of strength and confidence just to make it threw that last lap and i know Sharla did. I wish i knew her as a person but i know she's in a much better place where she would have no worries.
May God bless you all for your lost and take care threw this hard time.
R.I.P Sharla...

To the Butler family I am very sorry for your loss. The bond that me and Sharla shared from a distance was not just due to me knowing her sister but because we are and always will LancSter Lady Tigers. Save a spot for me babygirl in that shot-put & discus ring.
