Dear Cousin Shirley--Remembering the times that you shared with Warner will ease your grief in the days and months to come. Think of the many jokes, laughs, travels, and other pleasant things that the two of you shared with family and friends. The memory of Warner will forever be etched in the hearts and minds of those who knew him.

Mrs birts
It was a pleasure to know one of the most loving and caring couples i have ever met in my lifetime . Not many students got to know the side of mr birts out of school I was one of the few and fortunate. And proud to say the time you and your husband invested in me has shaped my life for the better.although I always wanted to find you all to always express my gratitude to my mentor and his wife I am deeply sorrowed by your loss .and my prayers are with you and the family.
