If you were not able to attend the homegoing of Aunt Burn, you missed the best homegoing celebration ever! My 13 year old daughter said it was the best funeral she had ever attended. I think of Aunt Burn everyday, I can't believe she is gone. We will truly miss her.

My beautiful, sweet, unselfish, complimentary, God fearing and God loving Aunt Burn. Many of us were referred to as her "pretty girl" and it made you feel so special. There is only one Aunt Burnerdean "Aunt Burn" Evans. I love you, I'll miss conversing with you,seeing you when I enter the funeral home; I will see you again in Heaven.
