Mervin Burnham Obituary

Mervin "Merv" H. Burnham met his Lord and Savior, Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013. Service: Noon Tuesday at Arlington Baptist Church, 3434 S. Collins. Burial: 2:15 p.m. in the DFW National Cemetery in Dallas. He was born in Floresville on Dec. 23, 1932, to Clayton and Alma Burnham who preceded him in death. He served his country in the Air Force for four years (airman first class) and served three years in the Reserve. We shall miss his loving sweet spirit. However, we know heaven is a bit brighter because he is there. Thank you for almost 28 years of joy you brought to my life. See you soon, Sweetheart. Survivors: His wife, Madeline Burnham; three stepchildren, Debbie Chapin, husband, Chuck, DJ Segler and wife, Julie, DeeDee Malone and husband, Chuck; and nine grandchildren.
