Not sure what to say?

I used to work at Ridgewood about 4 years ago Mrs Burbage was very special to me. I have thought about her often and recently ran across her obituary. Don, so sorry for your loss. You were so loyal to your mom. I’ll keep your family in my prayers. Brenda Jenkins

Miss Fran will be missed
We went and visited her alot.
She was a sweet lady.
She taught my CPR class yrs back.
And I have missed her teaching us that wished to renew our certification.
The family is in our thoughts and prayers

Crystal & family;
So to hear of Ms. Frans passing. May we all share the many fond memories we have of her, mine of all the countless EMT classes that she let me help with many years ago.
May the Lord comfort each and everyone in the days to come.

I did not know her personally, but saw her in the hallway at Ridgewood and always spoke to her and she always had a big smile on her face. I am so sorry for your loss!

with when she was riding rescue and I was working in the ED at BCH. She was dedicated and a credit to her profession> Think of her often! I enjoyed calling her friend!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to work with Fran at Pungo Hospital. I knew right then and there what a special lady she was and how loved. Unbelievably my daughter took care of Fran at Ridgewood Nursing home—Fran remembered me from yrs gone by. She is a beautiful shining angel -and will look over you.

I did not know Mrs Burbage but always enjoyed seeing her sweet smile in the hall at Ridgewood when visiting Dad. Praying comfort for her family.

Crystal, Mark and family, it’s hard to put into words how much I loved Mrs. Fran. Some of my favorite memories from high school were the times when we would go on VICA trips and I would wind up in Mr. Jim’s and Mrs. Fran’s room watching baseball, eating all the goodies that she would pack and chewing tobacco until the game was over. She was the only person who could handle Mr. Burbage when he was angry. God surely never made another one like her. I grieve with you, but I am thankful that God...

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!
