Dear Sue, Stacy, Tina,Christopher, Aiden

We are all so sorry on the loss of youe beloved husband and father.What a great man he truly was. Over the thirty some years we knew him he was always kind and loving to us. We will never forget his friendship with our Gregory,the trips he took him on to the aquarium and most of all the time he took him to see Miami Dolphins play the Eagles, What a great time they had. We were so glad that he agreed to be Coreys godfather. There are so many memories more to share. We will miss him dearly and we hope you know that we loved him.

Love Robin, Francis, Andrew, Patrick and Corey Burke

Aunt Sue, Stacy, Tina, Felicia, Chris Aiden and the Markley Brothers,

My heart is broken that Uncle Steve is no longer with us. He was a great person. He always had a smile on his face and a funny story to tell. He had a huge heart as well. He loved all of you so very much and lite up when you guys were around.

The strength and courage he showed during his fight was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. He truly is a fighter!

Brud and I will miss him dearly but know he is at peace and now is watching over us just shaking his head (probably at something TINA DID - lol).

We love all of you and are here for each of you.

Keep your memories of Uncle Steve close to your hearts.

Love always -
Brud, Sue, Meghan, Tyler and Joshua
