Dear Burke Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Ed's passing. I have fond memories of working as an intern for Ed at the Center for Corporate Community Relations at the School of Social Work in 1985. Ed was wonderful to work with, and I still hold on to lessons learned from that interesting time in the development of the Center. My prayers and best wishes.

Dear Lee,
Heather & I were devastated by the news. Ed was a great man, ahead of his time, and much sweeter than most people knew.
I hope you will call us as soon as you come down so that we can see you.
Love,
Heather & Lou
