Not sure what to say?

I didn't know him until recently when I renewed my relationship with God. I was immediately astounded by his talent and conviction to our savior. He has blessed me to untold heights. I know you miss him terribly and I know his death was a shock. I'm so fortunate and blessed to have his music in my life now. I missed so much when I strayed. But with the guidance of my family and Anthony Burger, I'm gonna hear him play one day. My deepest condolences. Pamela Davis

Was just telling someone today about Anthony and that he was one of my top 3 favorite pianists of all times. Definitely miss him tickling the ivory as he worshipped the Lord with amazing music. Sending a copy of his DVD to a family member today.

I am so thankful for the time I was able to get to know Anthony, and the friendship we had. One thing that meant so much to me was that Anthony never looked down on just everyday normal people, we all meant something to him. Once you met him he knew you. With Christmas coming I am enjoying Anthony's Christmas CD's, they are so peaceful. I miss you Anthony, and think of you often.

I think of Anthony, everyday he was a very special friend of mine. Every summer I would look up all of Anthony's concerts and go to all the ones close to me. I sure miss that. I miss his smile, his laugh was wonderful. He had a wonderful sense of humor. I will be waiting till the day I can see him again and get a concert from him on the grand-piano. Right now I will settle for video's and CD's. Anthony will always hold a special place in my heart.

We have just watched a spectacular special by Bill Gaither on Anthony. When we realized that he had passed on to be with the Lord, we were in shock. Anthony truly had a marvelous God given talent. Sympathies to his family and friends.

What a talent and what a way to use it for God. What a joy his music was. We will forever miss his beautiful music on this earth.

This week-end will be my first concert sent Anthony's HOMEGOING without him. I can't began to say how much I am going to miss seeing him at the piano. Anthony was one of my very special friends, I alway looked forward to seeing him when I got to a concert. Anthony's face will not be there but his present will, Love You Anthony always.

We were so blessed to have Anthony play at our church a few months ago. I was so taken by his playing, that I was just mesmorized. He just has that way about him. In all my years I have never heard such a fantastic piano player. He was just praising the Lord! You could just feel the Holy Spirit in that santuary. I was really saddened by his sudden death. I know that the Lord must have wanted him up there with Him! Our loss is His gain!
