I just wanted to send my deepest sympathy for all of the family. Mrs. Burnett was like a second mom to me while I was growing up next door on Vernon St. I will always miss her and all the memories of my best friends growing up. Tom, Jim,Judy,Julie,Sue, and Joey....my sympathy goes out to all of you...And I will always miss the times we all had, forever...

God looked around His garden, and He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth, and saw a tired face. He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He saw that the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered "Peace Be Thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did'nt go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. One scripture that has helped me to cope with the loss of a loved one is Revelations 21:4. My sympathy to your family.

To Rory's Family,

I worked with your Mom at the Police Department for 12 years, and she was a great lady. I was very sad to hear that she passed away. She was always there to talk with and was just so easy going. She will be missed.

May God be with you all during this sad time.
