To the Burns family,

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you at this sad time.
I am sharing in your sadness as you remember Bernie who I had the pleasure of knowing for 40 plus years.
I know there are no words that can ease your pain but keep your happy memories of Bernie to uplift you during this challenge and know that I will always be here for you no matter what.

Sending you love and wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

When I think of Donnie, I think of hanging out at Highland Park. We did everything together we had a great group of guys that would go hang out we would play tackle football, softball, tetherball and an occasional Nickel Dime poker game. Going to miss you bro, rest in peace, see you on the flip side
