Not sure what to say?

*You were like my mother
You were my best friend
You were everything I want to be
And all the good inside of me
There's never been another
That loved me like you did
My grandmother, my angel*
You mean the world to me Nana. I will never forget the many summers and winters I spent with you. You made me who I am today, and without you I don't know who I would be. You brought out the best in me and I will never forget how lucky I was to have a grandmother like...

My heart is aching inside for my momma. She always told me that all flowers have to wilt and die to allow all the new flowers to grow. That's what our momma was, A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER. She always believed in me. She taught me everything I needed to know, and I'll always be grateful for that. She did have a strong constitution, and stayed with us as long as she could. We will see you again momma. You have my heart with you. I will be forever loving you. Debbie Lynn

On Thursday night Feb.4 at 10 to 12 I lost my biggest fan. The person who always thought I was right, even when I clearly wasn't. The biggest supporter in my life. I lost my best friend. I lost my precious mother. Until we meet again momma I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Brenda

A very beautiful person. A heart to love. A heart to want to always see the best out of people. Now the angels will be hearing those sweet harmonies. Thank you Lavada Burke. For the changes you helped me make in my life. Your Family Miss's you very much. Much love momma . Z

We are so sorry for your loss. I have a lot of good memories of Lavada. My Mom and Lavada would sit at our kitchen table and drink coffee and talk while my Dad played music. She would even sing sometimes. She was like a part of our family. She will be missed but not forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will miss Vada very much. She will always be with us in our hearts.
