It was a blessing to have gotten to know Frances when she attended the Hermon Baptist Church services at the VA Home. She was very kind. I pray you find Jesus's great love and the hope of heaven only he can give a very special comfort at this time! For God so Loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish but, have ever lasting life. John 3:16.

Dear Burke family,
Though I never had the honor to meet you're lovely Mom and Grandmom, I know she is in god's arms. With all the work she did for our veterans through our Ladies Auxiliary, I know we have lost a beautiful sister. God Bless.

Joe, So sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful lady. I think she welcomed every kid in Hampden into her home at one time or another and always made each one of us feel special. I was privileged to have known her. Please take comfort in knowing that others care.

Joyce,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom. I remember her so well back when we all lived on the Coldbrook Rd. You and I had some really fun times and I've thought of you and your family often over the years. May God be with you through these hard times.

I was sorry to hear of your mom's death. It seems she lived a good and happy life and certainly was a wonderful, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She is now at peace and I'm sure must have a special place near her maker.

Aunt Frannie I will miss you and all the happy times we had will remain in my heart and mind forever! To my cousins you all know my love and thoughts are with you at this time even though I can not be with you at this time. I keep thinking she is having a family reunion at this time and laughing at seeing so many of her loved ones. This gives me comfort and the thought that one day I will push her around again or will she push me?
I love all of you!
