Dear family of Donald and Jean Burr:
My friendship with your Mom and Dad goes back many years to when we were in our mid teens. I have looked for their address over the years but never seemed to be able to contact them.
Your grandmother sewed my wedding dress and dresses for the entire wedding party. I went to school with your Aunt Arlene. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I was shocked that they passed so close in time to one another, although many couples would appreciate that fact.
Prayers and God bless.
Agnes (Adam) Zarack
