My husband and I are friends of Sue and Kevin and have been since they first moved to Florida. Over the years, I’ve listened to her tell stories about her “Gramma.” I could tell that Mrs Burke was very loved and know that she will be missed by all of you. We offer you our deepest sympathy. Our prayers go out to you. Sharon and Bob Johnson, Shalimar FL
