Dearest Burke Family,
I was devastated to hear that Sean had passed on last week. I don't need to tell you what a wonderful, loving man he was because you already know.
Our relationship started professionally he, my hairdresser, me, his customer. From there it blossomed to a real nice friendship. Sean knew he could call me when ever he needed me, or if he just wanted to talk. He knew that, as his friend, I would always be there for him. I have three children and all three loved Sean a lot, they too were very saddened by his passing.
In conclusion, there are no words to express the deep sadness my children and I feel regarding Sean's death, nor the deep sympathy we feel for your family.
To Sean, my friend, please know we love you and will miss you desperately. Rest peacefully my friend.
All our love, Charlene Miserendino-Espinoza and Children
