Dear David and the rest of the Burns family. Paul told me today about your mother. We are sorry to hear about her passing. You were so kind to us when Mark passed away by coming to the wake and to our home afterwards, along with Hugh. It was great to see you both.

We hope to be able to see you very soon at the wake and would like to keep in touch. Having people around that you have known for a long time, no matter the passing of the years, was like a balm, and comforting. I hope in the near future we can get all our classmates together for some sort of reunion. In the meantime, please know that our thoughts are with you and your entire family. We know that it is a stressful, as well as a very sad time. take care, Paul & Clare

I am stunned to hear of Theresa's passing. My sympathies go out to family and friends. She was a wonderful asset to the Home and Garden Club, such a jovial and friendly person who's wonderful feedback supported us all. Her presence will be missed.
