So sorry to hear of the passing of Kenny. We recall the few but quality times we spent together. Remembering the trips to Cape BRETON, when we were all soo young and getting to know each other. Kenny ,s stories have been repeated many times with our family, Prayers are with Cecila kids, and Billy and Winnie. Gone but never forgotten. Stay strong.

My heart goes out to whole family. I still hold dear the times I shared with your family as a young girl. Your dads humor, smile and stories was the Burgess way. I am sure he is entertaining them in heaven right now, with my Dad and Rusty.
I am sorry I can't be there. God bless you all.
