Dear Lisa, Mike and Mary, Johnna and Ron, Tracy, and David and families:

I've known you all for so many years, and Mom was so incredibly proud of you all. I was very sad to learn of her passing. Knowing the stubborn, no, determined woman that she was, I'm sure she fought until she finally accepted it was her time to go. I know you will all miss her terribly. I will keep you in my heart while you go through this very sad time. Please take comfort in knowing that you are her legacy and she will not be forgotten.

Warm regards,

Rosemary Burdick
