Not sure what to say?

Sincere sympathy to you David and your family. Fran's life and mine intersected only on brief occasions but as neighbors, we would wave or chat. She is a neighbor that anyone would wish for.

Her gardens were works of love and joy. She gave "tours" of her garden to our great-granddaughters to pass on the love she had for each plant she cared for, pointing out the butterfly area and other special plants.

She will be missed.

Dear Brian & Family,
It is not an easy time for you but your love and wonderful memories you will always have to help you get through the times ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Burkholder family,

My family's thoughts and prayers are with you all. She was very special. I think the gardens in Heaven will now be just that more beautiful.

Dear Brian,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are greatly saddened by your loss and we hope that God brings you comfort through your friends and family during this time. No doubt your Mom was very proud of you and loved you beyond measure.
Blessings to you and your family.

Pat and Jacquie,

We are very sorry for your loss. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Dear Mr. Burkholder, Tom, Brian and Pat;

My deepest sympathy for the loss of Mrs. Burkholder.

When I come back home to Comstock Park when visiting my parents, I would often see her working in her lovely garden. Sometimes we would catch each other’s eye, smile & wave. She truly was one of the nicest ladies I have ever met.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Burkholder family,
May God's love guide you during this difficult time of sorrow.

Dave ~ Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know you and Fran shared many good times with our parents, John and Emily. They spoke so fondly of you both.

Dave:
Our deepest sympathy at your loss. May you and your family find peace in God.
