Francis Michael Burns

"Francy" is enshrined in the memory of us Mrazes forever because of those wonderful days of our youth when his sister Louise and he presided over our boisterous play during visits to 1449 Studer Avenue. So many memories. Would that I had kept in touch. But following his life events through others has given me a sense of satisfaction that the lives of good men like Francis have illuminated our corner of this world and we all have benefited from it. Paul Mraz, cousin.

My Sympathy and Prayers to the Burns Family.
I will miss his smile as I come in Church every Sunday.

Our condolences and prayers are with the Burns family. We will miss his gentle and loving presence in our lives, but want you to know that we are reminded daily of his deep appreciation for the land, and his care for God's creations.

Francis Burns was a man of integrity, simplicity and honesty. He loved his Lord Jesus intensely and it showed in all his actions. I remember how kindhearted he was, always greeting me heartily when I came to that home filled with love, herbal cooking smells and lotsa chatter! To Colleen and to all the "kids", you were indeed blessed to have a man as this in your lives. My wife and I send our sincerest condolences to you all, along with our love and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We at Corpus Christi and St. Ladislas Churches wish to express our deepest prayers and sympathy on the death of Francis. He was dealy loved by everyone who met him and his affection for the poor was so pleasing in the eyes of God and all of us. God bless you.

Our thoughts and Prayers are with the Burns family at this time of loss. At the request of the Aquinas Alumni Association; Holy Mass will be offered for Francis by a Dominican Priest stationed at Providence College in Providence, R.I.
