Burkey Family and Friends,

I was so heart broken when I heard about his passing. Gone too soon. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I work for a vendor at Michael's job and he was always a very good person to deal with.

With Deepest Sympathy,
Maura

Michael was a student in one of my early fifth grade classes. He was an intelligent, inquisitive boy. I was pleased when he became our IT man for the school district. I enjoyed introducing Michael to my current students when he came to our classroom to solve a problem with our internet connection.

To Carolyn, John, and Chris, I pray for God's peace and love to comfort you. To Michael's wife and children, I pray for God's loving embrace to assure you of His constant love for you.
