Dear Vonnie.
As you may remember, your Dad knew me before I knew myself...smiles. He was a dear frend to my parents, Julius & the late Eva Garrett, as well as my grandparents, The late Rev. Wm. & Edna Garrett and the late Bishop Wyoming & Mary Wells.
May you find comfort in knowing that your Father was a great man of God and has gone home to meet the King.
My Aunt Claudia, Uncle O.T., and I will see you at the services on Friday.
~Love, Patsy

For over fifty years Bishop Burton has been towering force in the COGIC; his dedication to quality preaching and high educational standards will be long remembered. His contributions to theological education sets him apart as one the great innovatives minds. A legend has departed; a legacy is left to us and a clarion voice hushed. He will be long-lived. Shalom!

Vonnie and Shawn, my deepest condolences are extended to you and all Bishop Burton's family,
loved ones, friends, and church members, both in Harrisburg, Steelton, and Philadelphia.

I'm so thankful to God that, after 42 years or more of being away from Emanuel, I finally found my way back and was blessed to see and hear Bishop Burton again a few times on the 5th Sunday...
