Evelyn C.Burse (Granny). You help to shape us to become respectful, responsible, loving, and forgiving. You taught us the true value of family. Above all you made sure that we knew Christ. We are all grateful for your prayers and life lessons. I miss your presence, cooking, and sense of humor.
Your loving granddaughter,

To my dear grandma you have thought me so much and the memories we have are priceless and I can replay them in my head even when I was a small girl and them getting mad cause you didn´t make me eat the foods I didn´t like but the one that I hold on to the most is seeing most of your great great grandchildren around your bed holding your hand and kissing you as you went to be with our lord and savior to see the light in your eyes seeing all them around you was everything to me and you knew one of them was missing and you held on till he got there you are and will forever be my angel I love you granny and miss you dearly. Love Always Kendra

Every time I think of you,
A tear escapes my eye.
You were my world,
My inspiration and my heart,
But when you left me,
I thought I would fall apart.
You were my best friend,
My one true 'confidante',
And that's not all you were,
You were also my mom.
I didn't want to live without you,
But you would have wanted me to,
And if there's anyone I want to make happy,
That anyone is you
I would have given anything to have you back,
But I know now that it was meant to be,
For you are still watching from up there,
And I know you're watching me.
I'll make you proud mom,
I'm going to fulfill your wish,
You're going to see me and smile,
That's a daughter's promise.
I love and miss you mommy.

To my Granny I love you.I'm so blessed to had a grandmother that was more of a parent, friend, and motivator. You instilled in me values that I have passed on to my children. I'm going to miss your presence, talks, and cooking. Knowing that you are in heaven makes it easier to accept your departure. Good bye for now Granny.

Mom I miss you, but I know you 're in heaven praising God for his tender mercies and long suffering. Thank you for your continuous prayers for your family to do what you did in asking the Lord to forgive you of your sins and to accept Him as your personal Savior. That is the most precious gift anyone could give (salvation). I Love you mom !!!!

In my Rose Garden of memories
I see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught me how to care
I long to hear your voice
for real not in my dreams
I am missing you so much ..........
I Love You Granny

As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering …..
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us …..
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgment,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
THANK YOU GRANDMOM!!!

To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord. It is a win win situation for saints of God. Sister Burse was a Saint.
