Jane and Ashley,
I am very sad to hear of Mr. Burns passing. I had the privilege of working with him at Sunset Park for 11 years. He was a very nice man. I always enjoyed talking to him because I was guaranteed to get a laugh. Whenever I would need his help with something he was always willing to help me out. He is one that I hold fond memories of during my time there. May God be with you during your time of bereavement.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at the loss of Kevin. I worked with him at Sunset Park he was a wonderful man of encouragement to me while my father was going through cancer treatments. He was always talking about his beautiful wife and daughter. He was so proud of his family. He will be greatly missed.
I am truly sorry for your loss.

The Burns Family,
I worked with Kevin when he first came to Sunset Park. He was quite a gentleman and his smile just lit up the classroom. He would always make my day. He loved talking about his daughter, Ashley. He will truly be missed. May God Be with you all during this time and always.

Jane and Ashley;
I worked with Kevin at Sunset Park for 14 years, and enjoyed every minute of the time I shared with him. I always knew that whenever I saw him, I'd leave laughing. He was never without something humorous to say. He will be greatly missed. The two of you are in my prayers.
