Dear Sweet Burney Family,
There are simply no words that can express how saddened I am for your loss. I have always had a special place in my heart for your mom. She was always so interested in my life and had a way of making me feel so special. She will truly be missed and has touched so many lives in such an incredible way. God has a way of healing the sick by bringing them to his precious hands. I will continue to pray for you all and your precious family. My heart feels at peace to know that we all have another mighty angel up in heaven to watch over us. I love you all and have you in my heart.
With all my love,

Dear Burney, Sellers and Dixon Families,
I had the honor to be one of Kathy's friends from junior high school through college. After college we lost touch but I thought of her and always loved her. We had a 40th high school reunion recently (W.T.White '69) and she was remembered and thought of. All of you are in my heart and prayers. It is wonderful to know that she was so loved by her family and friends.

Heaven will never be the same with Kathy there. She'll have everyone dancing and singing. I was hoping to be skinny in heaven, but she'll have donuts at all our gatherings and I won't be able to resist. She will be so missed on this earth, but the saints in heaven are rejoicing.
July 31, 2009
Bill, You all know how much we care. You have been through so much and it is so hard to imagine life without your Beautiful Kathy! We are always here for you. I hear now that your name has changed from "Crabcake" to "Boxerman". :) We'll see you on Sunday for a long overdue hug. Love to all, Alice, Carl, Alan, and Cal

Dear Bill and family members,
Craig and I extend our sympathy to you. Although I did not know Kathy well, I observed her at the SAE Mom's weekend and saw a beautiful peaceful calm woman who appeared to be content. Surely she is in His presence now and able to praise her Lord in song and dance. Our sons, William and George hope to support their SAE Burney brothers and we pray that the God of ALL comfort will surround you now and always.

Bill I am so sorry for your loss.I went thru the same thing with my wife in 2007. I know it is hard and it will take time to heal. Just try and keep positive thoughts; remember the good times you had together and know that she is in a much better place now and is at peace. It is the ones left behind that has to share the pain.All I can say is time will make the pain and the feeling of lost become less.If you need to talk with someone when you are feeling really down, call me anytime.email [email protected]
