To the Burns Family:
Was a bit of a chock when I heard that Yom passed away the day of your mom's funeral. I didn't know when the service was until i found it this week. I am deeply sorry for the loss. The last time i saw Tom was a few years ago at Macks Pizza in Ocean City.
Again I am sorry for your loss and not being at his service. Sincerely, Bill Liddell/ Billy

To have known Tom for 35 yrs was of great pleasure. We have had many conversations which always was laughing and cracking up over simple things. One just being how Tommy would not cut his sandwich and just eat it whole. I believed he related that to his dad, who apparently never cut his sandwich as well. Tom was a very hard worker and was kind to EVERYONE! This news has been of great sadness to us all.
We Pray for his family to cherish the happy times that were spent together with him. God Bless and may He Rest In Peace.
