Mr. & Mrs. Burke,
I would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family over the loss of your mother.
You are both such caring, loving individuals, that I know Grams is looking down lovingly from above.
As I read her orbituary, I couldn't help but be AMAZED by all the things she had done in her life. Not only was she a wife and mother, which in itself is a full-time job, but she also contributed her time and talent to her...

Dear Nora and Bill,
Jim and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom! I have yet to walk this path but, I know that I will make this journey too someday. Regardless of how old they are when they die, the feeling of loss and sorrow is never diminished by number of years someone has lived. The obituary was a beautifully written reflection of the person your Mom was and the life she made. Her accomplishments were truly "ahead of her time". The fond memories you have...
