Norma Jean, I think of you and J.C. often and hope you are finding peace and good health. You both have been an inspiration to me all my life, for you lived life the right way - caring for others and each other with love.
I hope this finds you doing well.

I loved J. C. as he seemed so much like my Grandfather, Floyd Burke, whom I loved dearly. The Burke/Griffey connections were unique and loving. John and I so enjoyed our visit to J.C. and Norma in Gladstone and will always hold both of them lovingly in my heart.
Norma Jean, I lost my John in March of 2015.
