Mom, my heart hurts. I keep you current in your Great-Grandchild's heart and mind. I have stories and pictures I share with him, I'm still looking for mice for you. XOXO

I am just learning of the passing of Dr. Burnett. I never knew we shared a birthday. She was married to my church member Dr. Calvin Burnett and always presented herself in such an exemplary way. I loved talking with her and feeling what to me felt like a generous, caring spirit. Peace be with Dr. Calvin and her family.

Mom had such a warm smile and willingly extended herself to help others. She was smart, artistic and loved her family hard. There will never be anyone like her. I miss you Momma and know you miss me too.
