Maria Burkhartt will be missed. I had the pleasure to work with her at st. anns home (The Heritage-Palliative Care Center). Maria and her husband Ray filled my days with laughter and joy. They are such a beautiful couple. May Maria rest in peace. Ray and the family will stay in my prayers. With Love and Respect, Sakunda.

Aunt Mitzi was the kindest woman I ever met. Anyone who knew her was truly blessed to do so. She will be missed but her memory will live on forever. I love you Aunt Mitzi. My sympathy to Uncle Ray.
