Although I never forrmally met Mrs. Burrows,(MeMe) I feel as if I had. Randy, Nancy, Dylan and Alyssa all spoke so highly of her. I know she was a wonderful person and very loved. Debbie I know that you are a saint! What a blessing it is to the entire Burrow's family to have such a wonderful caregiver of your Mother as you. Yes, she is in a much better place, but those still left here on this earth will miss her. Find strengh in God, family and friends.
P.S. Fix a blueberry and banana pie and ENJOY!

I met Olan and Frances Burrows when I first moved to Muleshoe in 1964. Olan was active in the Muleshoe Business Activities Committee and later he and Harvey Bass asked me to serve as secretary to that Committee. Frances
was always supportive of the community and the BAC who planned activities for downtown...and to promote Muleshoe. She was a lovely lady, beautiful outside and within. She always had a smile on her face and was interested in others. It is always difficult to lose a parent, but you have many happy memories which will help you in the loss. We meet people in our lives who make a distinct impression for good on us. Your parents were that kind of people. May God bless you in your loss.

Debbie: I was sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I want you to know that you and all your family are in my thoughts and prayers. As children we are never ready for the passing of are parents but in our minds we know that the time has come that it is better for them. You will always miss her but strive to remember all the good times that you and your family had with her.
