Elizabeth M. "Betty" Burns

To the Burns family: Your mom was one of the most kind, caring and loving ladies that I have had the pleasure of knowing. She loved and was so proud of each and every one of her children and family. Always spoke kindly of everyone. She was such a bright light in this world and her kindness touched so many people. She has a special place in my heart today and always. May all your special memories of your parents live lovingly in your hearts forever. She lived a great life with your dad. ...

It´s been many years since I left WNY but I still have fond memories of Betty, and Don. She was always so kind and a great sense of humor.

My condolences to the entire Burns´ Family. Mrs. Burns was always so kind and generous. At times I considered her a 2nd mother, since I spent so much time at their house. I told her that one time and she gently yelled at me. " You only have 1 mother and don´t forget it." Everyone who grew up on Melcourt, we were very fortunate to have wonderful role models and Mrs. Burns was one of the best. We became better people because of her.
