Mike and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your Mother. I did not know her but I am certain that she must have been a wonderful Mother to have turned out a son like you. You are so highly thought of here at CRV by all and that has to be a testament to your dear Mother. God bless you and may you find peace and solace in the Lord.

For Mike and all of the Burge family, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother's passing. It touches me personally because Harry and Anna were good friends of my parents, Pat and Hope Kane. They were all from that "Greatest Generation" we're so proud of. For you mom, being part of that generation meant the family was the No. 1 priority, no ifs, ands or buts. I'm glad she's back together with Harry now. God bless all of you!

Joann and family,
So sorry for the loss of your Mother. She was a lovely lady and she made me laugh whenever I seen her. I really enjoyed going with Joann over to the house on our lunch hour and visiting with her. I can still see her sitting on her front porch when she lived on cook street when I was driving home from work. She could make anyone laugh and I loved her attitude. May she rest in peace.
