Sis Burgan was a great Woman of God. In all she did, she wanted all Glory to be to God. She used to lead a song, "God is Working it Out" that always blessed my soul. It was her anthem. My condolences and most sincerest sympathy to the family during this most difficult time. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. God has worked it out just for her!
