Not sure what to say?

John Burrel was a great man, he taught me so much about science..... He never told me about his service, and it makes me appreciate him so much more.

Ann, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Grandpa... I cried when you passed away, I still cry today. Although I loved you dearly, I couldn't make you stay. The big hearted man heart stopped beating & the hard working hands are at rest. God broke my heart when he took you but proved to me that he only takes the best. I love you Grandpa and you will never be forgotten.

Grandpa, I will miss you here on Earth, but our souls will reunite someday. You were a man who had smiles to brighten the day and words of praise and encouragement. You always had good stories to tell and on holidays and family gatherings your eyes were always eager to meet mine, letting me know I was noticed and you cared for me. You were a great listener as well, patient and kind and that’s to say you were no ordinary man. Thank you for your love year after year and all the great memories...

Love you Grandpa you will never be forgotten and have been such a love and light in my life and each of our lives. I will never forget the last words you said to me, all of our special life moments together, your loving kind heart, your jokes and laughter even through to the end, all of our family celebrations and holidays as they will forever be engraved in my heart. You truly have showed me and each of us that family is important and to cherish each and every moment. I know you will...
